But aren't you waiting for **** to freeze over? I regard the original Lionel Veranda as a classic and applaud their (belated) decision to reissue it in a Legacy version.
In any case, I wasn't aware of these O scale Overland UP turbine models. And yeah, again, I see your point. Would you convert one to Legacy/TMCC? (I am not going to confess which of their O scale UP engines I have - I'm scared to touch it.)
I to applaud them bringing it back. But if they bring it back they might as well fix almost everything. Make it right and up to todays detail standards.
I would not throw out the idea out of “upgrading” it to Lionel electronics or full on DCC conversion.
