I would rather see more MTH type originals than exactly reproducing Lionel. I've got a nice example on my desk right now that I'm selling for my model railroad club. It's a 260E with a builders p[late that says "Mike's Train House". It's gunmetal with an eight wheel tender, a combination that Lionel never made and the tender says New York Central Lines. So it could never be confused with a locomotive made in the 1930's.
