So, the only scale detailed steam locomotive with a plastic boiler in recent times in S that I am aware of is the SHS 2-8-0. I have heard complaints about the sound system and the smoke unit, but have heard nothing negative about the operating characteristics or the level of detail.
I, personally, find the detail is more fragile than I would like, but that is because the DETAIL is plastic, not the boiler and cab. If the loco had durable metal details with a plastic boiler, it would be perfect in my book and I would certainly buy a Hudson with a plastic boiler and metal add-on details. If that loco had the option of flyerchief or legacy and one could choose either, that would make it all the better.

Hopefully sales figures on the FlyerChief and Legacy Berkshires will inspire Lionel to tool up a new steamer...
