I can’t remember the number of years that so many people have said why don’t they produce the SD40. This just proves that they really are not listening.



23 years!!!

AF SD40 Flyer Cover

Cancelled before the ink was dry on the brochure.  The image was a photoshopped Athearn HO model.

Chuck, if they will run on 20"R track, and their TMCC predecessors do, it is more than a typo because it appears in multiple places.

Cut-'n-Paste-itis.  The simple fact is Lionel won't make any Flyer that won't run on R20.  How many times have the catalogs stated the non-existent "S36" curves?

Heck, even AM's HiRail Northern will do R20.  It doesn't look very happy about it, but it will do it.

Now why the Pacific sets are listed for $1,400+ and the Polar Express sets are $400+ is beyond me; how do you justify the $1K price difference?  Perhaps they hope to amortize the entire tooling costs in one run. . . . .



I seriously wonder if they are actually cranking the S version out at the factory every year or if they're just upgrading the electronics in old stock.
