@breezinup posted:When stuff like this happens, some observers may think it makes no sense. However, Lionel knows the marketplace better than any individual does, and if they chose to rerun and engine, it would only be because they have information that there's a demand for it. Obviously not from folks who already have it. But Lionel is not out to intentionally lose money, and I'm sure they recognize that there will be some knashing of teeth by some when a re-run is done. But they've done it before. One example is the Legacy Southern Pacific Daylight. Another example was the Legacy Milwaukee Road S-3 steamers. Like the Daylights, Lionel ran that a second time several years after the first run. And the second run sold out, just like the first run.
I think breezinup hit the nail.
As others have said ... Lionel will build what their management team feels will sell.
This loc will sell.
