This brings up an interesting point. Will Lionel be using the K-Line tooling for the new engine or their Southern PS-4 tooling. Makes a difference on what motor will be used. With the exception of the New England Berks, all of the K-Line remakes have gotten the small Mabuchi motor in the smokebox. The Southern PS-4 has a large Pittman in the firebox. It won't be a Pittman but at least a larger motor than what would fit in the K-Line configuration.
