The Amtrak F40PH Phase III #226 that I ordered arrived today. It matches the the catalog picture headlight-wise.

I did notice that it takes two presses of the ditch light on/off to effect a change in behavior on it.

I also noticed that Lionel has ditched the Lionel branded blue ribbons and packing paper.  There was no foam wrapping either.

When mine arrived it had the blue ribbons and clear plastic wrap around the engine.

There’s no foam cause there’s no running boards besides the back deck and probably was inspected prior to delivery with someone leaving out the ribbon..

This isn’t what I meant. It had blue ribbons and plastic wrap. They just didn’t say “Lionel” on them nor did they have any Lionel logos on them. All of my previous Legacy engines had the very nice blue  and white Lionel ribbons and plastic wrap that had the Lionel logo. The combination made for a very premium looking product.

As for foam, yes there was none on the back deck, but there was also no foam wrap under the plastic wrap.

Anyway post some pictures!!

How about a video? (I refrained before because it’s not the CSX version and I was only asking about packing and ditch light function, since those are probably common to all versions.)
