In my conversations with the Lionel staff, I found most of them very knowledgeable about the market and railroads. In certain parts of the conversations, I could see light bulbs going on when I described modifications of a Polar Express Berk to a Reading T1. Would it be practical? I'll bet they are at least giving it thought. If this modification can be done, why not others that are close with other engines?
Will it happen? Don't know - it's all about dyes, dollars, investment and return. Don't give up on Lionel, as it's the best, most knowledgeable staff I've met so far.
America is a land of making the impossible possible. I rout for Flyonel, American Models (great passenger cars and track) and any one who tries to put out a decent product in S.
