Pat, what about the firebox color and the cylinder heads? Is this going to be an all black engine?
Unless you already have information that Lionel is planning on releasing a separate- sale plain boiler front, it would probably pay to have a run of those made also (if that's possible with parts).

Norton, it would be less costly and easier to replace the class-lighted boiler front than the other way around. Although I prefer the lights, I would be interested in a plain front if reasonably priced.
