(Maybe its like the paint colors and whistle tones. If "Lionel says its correct, then its correct".)

Indeed that was the engine/tender I received last year. I'm not a steam guy. That was a big purchase for me. It was going to be my only steam engine. I live in Missouri and I'll be d____d if I'm going to run that as a conversation piece or some-such. What a joke. I returned it immediately. And what's worse is all the big dealers are still selling them with no mention of the error. And Lionel has done nothing. I'm glad to be rid of it. Two years into this hobby and they taught me a lesson: That's my last preorder.
