Not complaining. Even about the loco or price. Even with missing class lights.
I have never, as in ever, seen a prototype with three "markers" on the rear of the tender, with TWO of then at the frame rail on the side.

What prototype? Just interested. Looks like a fair amount of work to strip, fill, sand and repaint.

Odd kit bashing choices. The backup light is usually high and centered. Rear markers were usually red and located on/near the corners, also pretty high up. These almost look like automotive cornering lights? Never seen a prototype with lights that low or in that location (aka the side). Kind of creative work with the front ones. At least they will be much harder to snap off

Odd. Can't say I've ever seen that anywhere before.

Do some think (?) that added lights are a selling point?
Look at some of the new stuff that Lionel and MTH have
added lights to and that I see no reason for other than it
is different and somebody will buy it just because.

Those rear tender lights make no sense to me.
