Lionel S3 in Lackawanna

 I prefer to see it in the livery of a RR from Pennsylvania  than one from Wisconsin. I think you made a good choice.

That Lackawanna looks big on the tender but it’s sharp 

Looks good.

I toook some pics next to a real pocono.  This was weavers offering a few years ago.  The Weaver is nice but can’t pull it’s own weight up a grade.  The only thing I don’t like on the Lionel is the size of the lettering on the tender  seems way tooo big

As much as I love the DL&W I will buy anything that says Lackawanna on the tender except for that engine, it's way out of my price range anyway. I will try to locate a weaver Pocono in the future, when I have tyhe funds for such. Anyway the lettering on the tender is far larger on the model as opposed to the pre-production photos. The larger letters are incorrect to Steamtown's Lackawanna-be excursion scheme but oh well. 

There is a way to improve the pulling power, but you need the services of someone like George(?) Timko. My Weaver Pocono will pull down walls.

Very nice Ben, looks great.

Looks like a nice model, but the lettering is too big from the looks of it. Unless the lettering was larger during the engine's time in Scranton.

This photo is from when it was painted in DL&W livery for some steamtown promotional shots, the actual filming was done in Wisconsin.

I have one from the original run and it’ll put 65-70 atlas reefers in motion with no issues 

Guys the Weaver Pocono wont even pull 4 K-Line passenger cars up that grade in the pictures.  I have two of them and they both stink   Only thing I can think to improve it is to add some weight
