Hi Folks,

I just want to clear up a misconception in this thread, that is, that Lionel did not get enough orders for the AF Legacy Berk.

I talked with Ryan Kunkle at the York Meet. Lionel was pleased with the number of orders and interest in the AF Legacy Berks. The tooling costs came in much higher they had anticipated/planned, so they could not produce the Berks at the original selling price. If they had an incredibly large order, they may have been able to absorb some of the cost and still done the run, but not the case.

So the number of orders was fine for the original tooling cost/selling price and the AF Legacy Berks would have been produced.

My interpretation of what Ryan also said was that based on the interest in the AF Legacy Berks, they would be considering future AF Legacy projects. No guarantees of course or hints, but for those that might care, we are still in the game.
