Jeff posed an interesting idea above. Now that 3rd rail owns the Lionel TMCC technology some S gauge engines could be offered in 3 variations. The normal scale version DCC ready but operates on DC. A plain high rail version for AC operation and a version for Legacy operation with fan driven smoke, TMCC and Railsounds all designed in from the factory. If so I am ready to place some orders, but lets get the passenger cars to us as the first priority.

Baby steps... I think Scott has to see how well the passenger cars do before considering a locomotive.

3rd Rail tried an S Scale locomotive (an S.P. P-10 semi-streamlined Pacific) some years ago. Now there were likely several reasons why that project was cancelled, so doing passenger cars may be the key getting the GDD/3rd Rail nose in the S Scale tent at this point.
