Rusty: You didn't note that the FlyerChief and Flyonel Baldwins do have add on handrails where the Gilbert does not. There are even some add on railings low on both ends of the engine.
I think it is interesting that when I went to the Charles Ro site the Northwestern is the only one of the Baldwins marked Sold Out.
There seems to be weights added to both ends of the chassis to give the engine more traction. Is that so?

Since Lionel added wire handrails on the hood and "lift bars" on the pilots on previous releases, that's why I didn't bother to mention them.

Yes, there are weights on the front and back of the frame.

I also noticed Ro sold out of the C&NW. Interestingly enough, C&NW also the only S-12 AM sold out of and quite some time ago, too. Must be popular...
