After looking at some prototype photos found via google, it looks like
the boiler on the Lionel version is too small in diameter, while the
MTH version looks closer. The angle of the photos may contribute to that.
Otherwise, there are so many small dufferences I start to wonder if
they were based on the same type!
They are both Y class 2-8-8-2 locos, but after that, lots of
differences. Like comparing a GP7 to a GP18.
#2009 is an ALCo 1919 Y-3 loco and #2195 is one of the last batch of
Y-6b locos built by the Roanoke Shops between 1948-1952.... like I said,
lots of differences.
Take care
