The best thing that could happen IMHO is for Lionel to purchase AM then update the products with more details and modern electronics.
Lionel may be the only company in the world that could be “successful” with AM. They already have the market share and many sunk costs. They have a big advantage over anyone trying to start from where AM is currently.

Well, first of all, it that were to happen, Lionel would either have to shrink their electronics or redesign the drives with vertical motors. The current Legacy electronics used in the SD70's and such won't fit into most of AM's diesels because of AM's horizontal design design. I don't think FlyerChief electronics would fit without a redesign somewhere, either.

Maybe even add swinging pilots... eek

And I can just see it now... "FlyerScale" AM freight cars:

Wouldn't it be loverly... rolleyes
