I find that its tough to be excited over the VL stuff any more, when lately, every other item Lionel delivers has some gross error or defect.
Not to mention, none of the rehashes of rehashes are as interesting as the 2-10-10-2 and the 0-8-8-0 were.
Enjoy those big ticket locos though, I'll sit back and wait for the reviews from the beta testers.
