Reply to "New Lionel S Catalog - Sounds of Silence part 2"

Lionel should continue the American Flyer Line with re-issues of all Gilbert tools.  There are many that have never been offered in the Lionel era.  Think how nice it was to see the beautiful Baldwin and Dockside Locos reborn as modern, high quality yet simple operators.  Lionel could do the same with the Gilbert F unit and 0-8-0 switcher.  Or the 0-6-0 B6.  Make them FlyerChief.  Too iconic of a brand to ignore.  I wished they had used the Gilbert tool for the heavyweights or copied it giving us glossy green or red options.

Well...maybe; but not with the "F unit"...which is an "F unit" in name only.

As "Bob2" used to say..."opinion".
