A lot of stuff I like but unfortunately I don’t  I have been waiting for Lionel to do a Legacy PRR T1 for some time now. Don’t know why they don’t I think it would be a big seller especially if they offer a as built, in service and a near end version.

I've heard they cannot make that engine (as well as the N&W Class A) due to losing a lawsuit with MTH decades ago. They can do the Lionmaster version, but not scale. 

And the Dreyfus Hudson. I don't know if they can't build it period, or if there are some terms and or conditions in the suit that prevent them from doing for some stretch of time. I wouldn't think that would be the case(but what do I know about that). It could be that they have to start from scratch on toolings, and haven't even got out of that box yet. One can never tell. I know I have mentioned it at York to Ryan on two occasions(Oct 2017, Oct 2018) about the Dreyfus.
