Reply to "Impressions Of An Interview Of Ron Bashista of AM"

Legacy electronics, let alone with a fan driven smoke unit will not fit in any of the AM engines. As Rusty says they would have to be re engineered. Likely only the shells could be saved. Even the Northerns are a problem. I have two AM Northerns retrofitted with TMCC, Railsounds and a fan driven smoke unit. It took substantial internal mods to get it to fit and work.

I would be concerned that if Lionel took over AM we would have no engines for an extended period of time due to the time and expense of putting modern electronics (Legacy and FlyerChief) in the AM product. Keep in mind the newest S gauge Legacy engines still do not have Bluetooth, unlike the O gauge products.
