Lionel does not care about historical facts for railroad items. They have done this before, as it is about marketing their products, as to them, selling a non existent RR painted item, because it looks good to them and others who do not know the history of a line, sells engine and other products for Lionel..
its about making money. They know this, that the item was never painted like this.. And to me, I had no clue, until you all pointed this out, not that I was going to buy one.

I wrote them earlier this morning telling them that the U36C never wore the red/silver paint scheme. Only the solid blue with yellow ends and then later the yellow/blue warbonnet. Even received a response back: From: mailto:TalkToUS%40LIONEL.COM Jeffery, Thank you for this information we will forward this on to the appropriate authorities. Thank You, Lionel
