Reply to "American Flyer Legacy Berkshire information - 2018"

I'm just trying to point out that Lionel is capable of great things.

The now seemingly unloved U33Cs had details specific to the roads they were offered in. The SD70s came out and they had no variances. All upper headlights to catch the NS heritage unit mania. Only the NS, some UP, and 10 BNSF units had upper headlights for the roadnames they offered. Almost every other road ordered theirs with nose mounted headlights. Same with the ES44Cs NS upper, most other roads have lower headlights. Sorry, too glaring an error for a $500+ locomotive. I won't even start with there were some truck sideframe options.

Yet the Challengers and the Y-3s had road specific details. Not to the extent of brass locomotives, but good enough.

I love Lionel's new offerings. I've even embraced FlyerCheif.

But Legacy at Legacy pricing, I'll only buy what's correct. Nit picking like this saves me money when I place my order at my LHS.
