Yes, that is a real possibility, I agree with you and if this is the outcome does this not show the true colours of L and any commitment for the future to S? It may just reinforce some people’s view as to L’s long term investment as being minimal at best.
As an outside view it would be interesting to see if L may consider picking up the S Helper/MTH product line, then that may be a game changer.

Flyer Showcase? I can just see Lionel plopping the SHS/MTH freight cars on standard Flyer trucks. Well, maybe not, but I'd wager the scale wheel option would go bye-bye.

Also, I'm not sure Legacy would fit in the F-units without extensive redesign work. Things are pretty tight in there right now:

After all MTH's reworking for DCS bore a good responsibility for the F3's taking 4 years to produce.
