I would think if one was looking at S and wondering when the best time to jump in....it would have been in 2012. That catalogue made it seem like the sky was the limit and that Lionel was in a faithful marriage to S. FlyerChief seems more like a very narrowed and limited strike to the S gauge market. Not an overall grand expansion. I’m not knocking it, I like the Berk and the update of the Flyonel tradional tooling. But this fails in grandeur compared to Challengers, Mikados, U33s, ES44s and SD70s. THATS when I felt we were going places!
IF Lionel tools another NEW locomotive to run FC in then maybe Francine is onto something....
