Your assumption would be correct, johnnyspeed. I don't see Lionel changing the name for the new S products.
But then, consider that on the three rail side, everything from the basic train set to Vision Line is still called Lionel.
For S, I began using the terms "Scale Flyer" and "Classic Flyer" to distinguish between the new highly detailed products and products base on A. C. Gilbert designs. It seems the best way for my tiny little mind to cope with the new developments.
Eventually, Lionel may make more of a distinction between the two lines, but for now the "market," meaning us, will have to do it.
Also, I'm pretty sure if the A. C. Gilbert Company (A.C.G.LLC?
) had survived into the 21st century, their product line would have also evolved to this stage and would still be called American Flyer.
