It was heavily insinuated that if the Pacifics sold well the Mikados would follow at some point. The Mikado tooling was “found” along with the Pacifics apparently. I see that the Pacifics are sold out at many sites and Lionel has committed to production other than the set Rusty mentioned so I think it’s pretty safe to say they are doing well.
I love these two models and I’m really glad they are doing them in full Legacy trim. I’ve already written them and asked for more road numbers and road names. I could see purchasing 8-10 total if they do different numbers and roads I want.
