Given the passage of 50+ years, history makes a compelling argument that you may be correct. But licensing (if necessary), assuming Lionel would not be competing with its present track systems to a significant degree, may provide an alternative. I suspect the reissue would provide Lionel with some great, additional promotional material for both their high-end, and, postwar inspired product.
