I ordered the 5418 through Great Lakes here in MI. I will deal with the class lights unless Lionel issues the plain front for those that want it. I will weather mine for an in-service look (not the scrap line) and hang a Kadee somehow on the tender. It will probably need larger pilot wheels while I'm at it, something a few of my engines need but I never seem to get around to. I am hoping the traction tires are on the rear drivers as opposed to the center blind ones like the models they built in the early 2000s (including the diecast Dreyfuss).
