I believe this is a second attempt by Lionel to see if modern freight will sell. The argument in the past that the Mechanical Reefers did not sell because the tooling/trucks on the cylindrical Hoppers was off and no one wanted to take the risk of buying them until the saw this was corrected. between the SD70's being issued and this I think this is another attempt to see our interest. If both sell well I would expect that they may be more inclined to invest in some new modern freight cars. I intend to buy both.
