@Rocco posted:I really like this AF catalog. I would buy more except for major price points. It shows some creativity. If Lionel wants to know what I would like to see if they have any money for new tooling, I would ask them to spend it on one of the following in random order:
1) Modern Rolling Stock
Like the 57' mechanical reefer cancelled EIGHT years ago on the date they were scheduled for delivery:
2) New Fast Track (RR crossing or Re-railer/crossing)
Lionel cataloged and cancelled in 2013 a FasTrack operating grade crossing, which I think would have been a knockout.
3) Any new engine we have been asking for. Either Steam or Diesel.
SD40-2....w/scale wheel conversion...
I know Lionel has said if you ask 20 Flyer collectors what they want they will come up with 25 different items. All I can say to that is at least do 1 of the 25. A majority of people will be happy with anything new.
Maybe $1799 is a test to see what we would pay for newly tooled items.
Except the Y3 isn't new tooling.
