Interesting to see the Rock Island 4-8-4. The Rock had quite a fleet of large steam locomotives, yet such locos from Lionel have been practically non-existent, which has caused some complaints for quite awhile. Lionel did a Rock Mikado and a Mogel, but it has been years since those came out, and the last large engine, another 4-8-4, was made over 30 years ago (1988)!
