John Rowlen posted:I just heard back from the dealer for my Custom Lionel Nickel Plate Road GP35 #910. They are out of engines with no SPARE engines to replace the engine I received with the gray replacement Lift Bar Mount and bent Lift Bar. I either accept what I received, or do without.
I have some very nice Atlas O Nickel Plate cars I purchased over the past six months for this engine to pull. Yesterday I ordered a set of six NKP LionScale NKP Hoppers. So much for BTO. I guess I'm SOL.

Parts like that would often get replaced on the real thing with the wrong color or just in primer, so it's actually prototypically plausible.
