MrMuffin shows is the new Lionel Legacy Pennsylvania M1 Mountains

These are very cool but one thing I notice on the M1b with the 16 wheel coast to coast tender is that the tender lettering is a tad bit too high.

those tenders with the trainphone antennas and dual receiving coils are awesome

Boy, they are terrific! - Thanks

In the catalog the engines are 054, but some of the tenders are 054, and some are 072.

[@MrMuffinsTrains]

(Lionel says O54 for 4 and 6 wheel trucks on tender;
O72 for 8 wheel truck tenders) - thanks
