The complete title is meaningful here, not decorative. The scale marker 1:87 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The year 2010 belongs to the listing identity; it should not automatically be treated as the manufacturing date of the item. The number 8069 separates this release from visually similar versions. Manufacturer item 49818S-01 is a stronger matching key than a shortened marketplace title. Keep IMR4981801S with the product record because abbreviated names often omit the detail that distinguishes one version from another.

Practical use and compatibility

For InterMountain 49818S-01 HO Gulf & Mississippi GP10 #8069 – LokSound DCC, separate collection identity from operating suitability. Collection identity is established by manufacturer, item number, road name, number and appearance. Operating suitability depends on scale, track, radius, coupler, wheel and control standards. Item number IMR4981801S links both questions to one product.

When a required dimension or electrical rating is missing, treat it as unconfirmed and consult the current manufacturer instructions.

Where similar listings differ

Use a consistent roster format: manufacturer, item number, road name, road number, scale, coupler standard, wheel notes and acquisition date. A complete roster is more useful than a title-only wish list when the same prototype appears in several releases.

If the exact item is intended for display rather than operation, the same identity fields still matter even when radius or control compatibility does not.

Using the gallery as evidence

Review all 1 available image in sequence rather than judging the item from the first thumbnail. Front, side, reverse, package and detail views answer different questions. The record is strongest when those views agree with the title and item number IMR4981801S.
