Norton posted:Actually Pat, if Lionel would just remake the front with no lights that was used on 5433 I think most all that want them could change the fronts out ourselves.
Neither you nor Lionel would have the make that engine both ways. Just make the part available to anyone that wants it.
Pete summed it up in a nutshell.
--------------------------------------------------
I will add this,
There are now six engines being made/proposed. Having this additional front doubles the available engine styles to twelve. Making another engine just for this change does not garner sales from those wanting one of the previous five without lights.
All that is needed is a note in the box with the engine stating that the part is available on Lionel's website or through their dealer. And make enough to have the part available for a year.
