Here it is. The ultimate challenge. The impossible has been done. Fixing the Lionel James.  This was, without fail, the HARDEST model I have ever customized. The challenge was daunting. Lionel's O gauge model of James is unanimously mocked for how inaccurate it is. Shall we compare?  Let's see... Lionel's James has hilariously undersized and under detailed buffers. Inaccurate yellow lining and dome as opposed to bronze/gold. A short and squat look. An incredibly long face. And the most egregious of all: the super wide boiler. James is depicted on Lionel's model almost like a saddle tank!  First off, I wanted a challenge. I wanted to make a version of James that improves upon the official Lionel model, but still "feels" like a Lionel model (flaws and all). So, I wanted to stick with the chassis he came with. 3 rail.  The only 3D printed part on this entire model is the lamp. That's it. Everything else is actually customized off the original Lionel James!
