I'm in for $1950,out the door.
That would really be amazing. If I recall correctly, pre-order pricing for the VL Big Boy ($2700 MSRP) was slightly less than that through a few forum sponsors, and that monstrosity was an articulated steamer!
Can't imagine folks would be all that eager to part with $2K for a non-articulated steamer -- no matter how many smoke units it has. But that's why Lionel previewed the Niagara without a price -- so folks could convince themselves it'll be a "must-have" regardless of the insane price that gets announced in a few months. Ah yes... The psychology of selling is alive and well here.
