I always loved the “look” of the LW......reminded me of the control unit is the engineer’s cab.....I always loved this promotional picture from the catalogs.... highlighting each transformer with what it could do.....
I suspect that a dual motor F3 with all the lights and those few accessories is probably at the limit of what the LW can handle.....but Lionel really knew how to showcase a product!

Love catalog and cover artwork. I'm fine with the "less than accurate" scale or portrayal within the rendition. To me, good artwork fosters much more "imagination" within me that a well done photograph.

LW's:

Almost bought one a few weeks ago, instead opting for the 1033 as my workbench transformer. However, after reading all of the glowing reports of 'em... kind of wish I had an LW as well now.
