Pretty slick loco. If you had not pointed it out I would not have noticed the the incorrect color of the stripe. The correct color would be more of a burgundy. Still an awesome loco!

Mr. Muffins who sells Lionel products is offering a service to either repaint the stripe or to have the locomotive weathered. He also has a KZitem channel

It's funny you mention seeing a VHS tape as a kid and connecting it to liking the engine still to this day. I can say the same about my favorite engine, the 4449 Daylight. When I was only 6 I got a vhs tape for my Birthday that was the 1991 Skyfire Productions 90 min documentary of the 4449 running from Portland to Sacramento on a solo excursion run for a meeting of steam. (other steam from the area came like UP 8444 aka 844) I loved watching that documentary over and over. I was old enough to understand that it was a special engine. It was the American freedom train. History in motion. Literally. I forgave its funny looking front end with 2 headlights in vertical configuration, one being a mars light. It had 2 horns as well, steam and air. I thought it was odd yes but I didn't care. It was a special train. The only one that pulled american history. *side note* It took me about 15 years later to Find out about the Reading T1 Freedom Train. Even though I live in PA and the Reading T1 was almost in my backyard figuratively speaking I never knew about it. I only knew about the trains my parents took me to see. Strausburg, Jim Thorpe, Western Maryland, etc. Long story short after going to York in 2017 and meeting a Carl Franz who sold me a trip to Poland to drive steam trains in summer of 2018 (total package $2,300) I was dismayed that it was canceled last minute. To rectify this, a few months later, tickets came up for sale about the opportunity to drive the J class in Strausburg in fall of 2019. I jumped on it. Dang it. Only Fireman seats are available. Not wanting to miss another opportunity to get steam seat time, I took it. I didn't even like the J class. I knew NOTHING about it. To me it resembles Bullet Bill form the Super Mario kart games. I didn't care. Steam is steam and gosh darn it I will operate steam no matter what the engine is. Glad I did, Sadly my time with 611 was far to short. It did make me appreciate it more. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. So all in all, great review but being that Lionel just introduced every single version of the Southern Pacific "Golden State/ General Service" steam engine (GS1-6) in Vision line, I will have to get those first. Thanks for reading my story, David

I love the N&W J Class locomotives I even have the older version of this J 611 the RailSounds 5 TMCC version from the mid 2000's pulls like a champ at roughly 3 lbs 8 ounces

That piece that you remove so that you can fill the whistle smoke fluid is called the "Low Water Alarm".

I bet the whistle on this locomotive almost sounds like the real 611’s whistle when it operated during the 1980s and 90s
