@NYC Fan posted:I spoke to Ryan K. at the Lionel display with regard to my one big complaint. I showed him catalog photos and photos of production items and asked how the heck the paint colors got so screwed up. He told me that decisions were made at the factory where an order for graphite colored smokeboxes were produced as a light gray. I asked what they were doing about it and he told me that color samples now have to be sent to Lionel and approved before production begins.
Now that's a good answer, and good news.
