The only thing consistent about "Traditional O" is it's not consistent.

Made me think about the NFL referees calling roughing the passer these days. Like them, Traditional is consistently inconsistent. Maybe that's why they adopted the term Traditional since Lionel and others have been consistently inconsistent (in O and O27) since the postwar era. It's a tradition.
I learned this the hard way when I bought some MTH O27 (explicitly labeled O27) passenger cars to match up with a Lionel O27 Jr. Berkshire. Same terms, different manufacturers = problem.
If this is the worst problem we face, things are pretty good.
