Sounds like a great business model, if you're interested in your business calling it quits! This has got to be one of the goofiest posts in a while, and that's saying a lot...
Glad you found my comment entertaining, Bob.
If you found my post so goofy, then why not call Lionel on Monday morning and ask them why they haven't re-issued Vision Line Tankers w/Freightsounds?
Our hobby is filled with products that were over-produced side by side with items that clearly were under-produced and now have significant pent up demand... Like the Vision Line Tankers and die-cast ES44 diesels. Lionel could probably sell all they could produce. So why don't they?
None of us here really knows what's driving the decision-making at our favorite importers at any given point in time.
