Again, I’m all in favor of seeing you guys get your dream Legacy A2a NYC Berk,…so let’s look at the possibilities,….first, you’ve got to hope Lionel got the tooling,….and that’s a lot of tooling,…..it’s all gotta get moved ….then some of tooling will need to be modified to suit Legacy systems….then pilot samples have to be made for testing….THEN, if Dave & Ryan need any changes,…it’s back to modifying tooling……IF it all works out, then they can go to production,…..it’s gonna be a while before you guys even see something on the horizon,….and it’s only an If they just so happened to pick up this particular model,…( which they very might as well have done) So again, I’m not trying to beat a dead horse,….but fellas like Skip that DO have this locomotive, but really can’t enjoy it because of whatever reason, there is an option,….if Bruk is jammed up like Gary has mentioned, Sid is just as capable of doing this swap…..I’m not advertising for either one, but it seems those two have this legacy swap thing down to a science,…I mean Sid took a Williams J and turned it from a toy to fine model,…I was impressed ,………in a nutshell, all I’m saying is if you have one, or you find one, and Legacy is your desire,…don’t wait for maybes and ifs, the Legacy doctors CAN make it happen,….that A2 produced by MTH is a friggin battle tank,…..heavy casting, ball bearing worm, heavy bronze gear, and ( my personal favorite part) Pittman powered,…..and with Sid or Bruk putting their “ stank” on it,…man, you’ll have one honking hunk of metal,…….the resources are all right here on this very forum…….here’s the skinny with the myriad of extreme talent on this forum,…. way beyond what the factory could ever hope to churn out,……the difficult we do straight away,…the impossible takes just a few minutes longer,…😉….
BTW, I stole that last quote from my buddy Pete,…I really like that!..🤣🤣🤣
