I would like to see a mountain in the greyhound scheme or a mikado in the same scheme. Both had prototypes and I like the greyhound scheme.

Witz,
I like some of your picks and pictures. Some great looking engines.
All of the above, Especially the 2-8-8-0 Bull Moose, plus an EARLY Challenger.
I also agree with the two tone grey with THE SILVER/WHITE striping and lettering, the only O-Gauge locomotive that I know that Lionel has done with Silver striping/lettering, is the Lionmaster Challenger(One of my FAVORITES) I LOVE the two tone grey, but enough of the YELLOW striping and lettering already.

A Pennsy one???

MTH cataloged the 4-8-2's several years ago, but were cancelled due to insufficient pre-orders.
The 2-8-2's were never painted in the Greyhound scheme. Only 4-6-2's, 4-8-2's 4-8-4's and 4-6-6-4's were painted in Greyhound.

And there were not two variations of Greyhound. So there is the passibility some classese of steamers had engines painted in BOTH, so some more variations....

Yep.
Silver lettering and striping (spring 1946) changed to Armour yellow in the fall of 1946 to match the streamlined trains.
The Greyhound scheme was dropped in 1952.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it.

Anything; if Lionel puts Union Pacific on any Legacy steam loco, I will buy it. It's just what I do.
Sure would like a pair of nice UP flat black, weathered 2-6-2s, though.
I've always found Utah Rails to be a great resource. Any UP fan who hasn't researched it should check it out! Obviously the Kratville books. Another great resource is the Denver Library website photo link....one can search by UP wheel type and decade....
Yes initially 1946 silver/white changed (not shiny silver in any way) to armor yellow. Mid 1949 began repainting to silver/white. 1952 back to black.
I realize it's a small slice of time I just prefer the white/silver over the yellow striping. I think it makes for a great looking train when pulling a matching heavyweight set.
