Yea, they could also ask lionel to put a couple studs on the tops of

While I truly appreciate the various models folks come up with, I really
don't want to see TLC put effort into things like more American looking
trucks. Why? Because where does it end then? If you want exact
prototypes, go play with real model trains.
I probably could be convinced about a wheelset with less detail though,
which might be easier to use in custom designs.
