What is not being said is that Sunset/3rd Rail sat on unsold K2 product for years. Sunset/3rd Rail made them in 2011 and they didn't sell out until 2019; that's a better part of a decade.

I was going to mention that but WBC beat me to it. Scott has escaped a few close calls and this one (along with the C&NW H1 and the SF 2900) languished on the Sunset/3rd site for quite some time. No, the Lionel piece was NOT influenced buy the Sunset version. The lack of sales/orders was strictly what the market could bare vs. what Lionel was willing to make, period, next sentence.

In addition, the Sunset version can currently be found on the evil site if anybody really wanted one, and have been available for some time. I think the NW guys just need to understand that there is just not enough people to that wanted this engine compared to the J, A or Y class engines.
