I may be interested in the Frisco 4500. However I have visited the prototype in Tulsa numerous times and I am concerned that I will be disappointed when the Lionel Model arrives.
I’m sure you are only getting a blue paint job on a generic 4 8 4 so more than likely l will pass on purchasing one.
The $1,599 retail price is approaching the price of a highly detailed prototypical correct brass model.

FWIW, the price being asked by one of the main dealers is $1,280 so roughly $300 off retail/MSRP.

However, that does not answer your other concerns about what you'll a actually be getting, which in my case applies across all of the Legacy steam engine offerings in this catalog that I might have been interested in.

I have taken the plunge and ordered the 21" passenger cars I have mentioned above but only because I think Lionel has worked out the kinks in the manufacturing of these.
