@breezinup posted:Well, first of all, the Lionel engine isn't a scale engine. It's a so-called traditional engine, No.18565, made way back in 1997, one of the first engines equipped with TMCC and RailSounds (photo below). Secondly, most folks probably aren't going to notice that the orange line stops slightly below the windows rather than about even with them. (Obviously, no one else pointed it out!
)
I recognized the heritage of the Lionel locomotive but chose not to mention it. The depth of the black was pretty obvious to me at first glance, but seeing everyone is fixated on the orange... The comparison is compromised by comparing a "traditional" locomotive vs a "scale" one.
