As to Lionel not offering steam effects, etc., I think they are being conservative. Every manufacturer is having problems with Chinese quality now - why push your luck with a bunch of new, intricate features? As to price reductions, it depends on how many they produce. Remember, the black Vision Hudson is hard to find and not discounted, the grey discounted a lot. If Lionel holds back and makes only a few, they will not be discounted, otherwise . . .
