I applaud Pats effort in getting an uncataloged model made.
Given Lionels track record of "what you see isn't necessarily what you'll get". Outside of driver type and lack of pinstriping its gonna be a crapshoot as far as smokebox or steamchest.
I'm inclined to think this model will be the set model with a different cab number.
I also think the jury is out until delivery regarding the smokebox on any of the models. Ryan stated on the facebook show that each model represents a different time period, but did not mention any specifics regarding color etc.
I'm not sure why Lionel is dodging the "no class lights". Maybe the boiler front tooling is missing.
