Hi all, My first post on OGR -- Have had an AF 335 steamer since my grandfather gave it to me in 1952. For some reason, when I pulled it out of the attic this Christmas for the first time since 15 years ago, I can't put it away. So am going all in now building a 5 x 9' layout in my garage and I want to inaugurate it when I'm done, first with my steam engine, but also with a new Flyer Chief Union Pacific GP7. I'm hoping Lionel's second run of these will be released before my birthday next month (late April).

I'm also hoping that Dave Olson's efforts to solve the loose traction issue can be implemented by Lionel in the second run (Dave was talking about maybe adding some weight in the cab, and I hope he also sees these latest posts). I can hardly wait to get my hands on this engine. Have any of you heard anything yet about when to expect them to be available again?

I love this forum,

Ken
