NotInWI posted:At a minimum, thus run of GP7s is likely far enough along in the process that any change at this point is not going to happen. I think at $225ish (Ro and Trainworld) it's a relatively low risk gamble on giving one of these a shot. I can't see most people pulling more than 10 or 12 cars with it, I think even with one motor it will do fine.
Bluetooth + sound = a win. I would like smoke, but I'll live without it.
Now this could be a good starting point for a RTR set.

It was never my intention to see current production suspended just because I spotted a possibility that there is potential to make these with eight wheel drive and maybe at minimal extra development costs.
I'm sure that if there is any mileage in doing this then Lionel will do what is best for them.
What is the possibility of retro fitting older AF Lionel diesels with FC capability as an upgrade option?
