No, it’s not being billed as a “Conventional Classic” and that’s with good reason as this train was never made! There was a prototype of the green FA A-A units (you can see them in the Neil Young auction catalog thread) but it was never actually produced. Still, it will be similar to the CC line that Lionel offered 8-9 years ago.
Len Carparelli was offering custom painted green alco shells for a while. I didn't see them in the current catalog.
Yes, and Len in fact did the green FAs that were featured in a CTT cover story in an old issue (10 years ago?) I’ve got a copy of it stashed somewhere.
Btw, the Alco FA green passenger set from 2017 Volume 1, is item # 6-82726.
