Too obvious. Did not think it would be an Acela👍
Haha. Maybe off by a couple decades but on the right trak.

Hasn't Ryan already said (in his Toy Train Museum speech last year) that Lionel was working on a re-issue of the current Acela before the prototype's retirement, which I think is scheduled for later this year? As they are recycling tooling and the Acela tooling was elaborate and no doubt costly to produce, I'd have thought they'd want to make use of it again.

A Legacy Acela was cataloged several years ago - without the tilt function or IR connectors for the door mechanisms - but never made.

I know that the mere mention of Acela is a red rag to many of us but the passenger car detail was the finest Lionel has produced.
