A very fine looking piece! I love the compressed-air tank on the nose.

i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder , but IMO larger scales really demand higher detalization. after seeng stuff like below (my new Prussian steamer) i really come to appreciate and demand detail. they do it in HO, so why not in O ...

Yep, because I look at your engine and think wow, you paid money for that?:laugh:

This Lionel was marketed as a kids toy, why judge it for something it never aspired or claimed to be?

My new Bachmann GP-40 has a lot more detail than the Lionel too, then again detail is cheaper in injection molded plastic and you have slave labor making them.

A thread from last June (http://www.modeltrainforum.com/showthread.php?t=3845&highlight=8604)

My cow catcher is broken.

This thread (http://www.modeltrainforum.com/showthread.php?t=3329&
highlight=8604).

So I can say we are familiar with the 8604 But I have never seen one(8604) with the feed tank, But I have one on the 8632.

I can't seem to find a front picture.

The front 8604 and the 8632.
