rvhirailer posted:I must be missing something. Maybe someone can help. If Lionel can still produce the boards for Atlas and 3rd Rail and sell them to those companies, why cant they sell them to the public too? Is it a different board that they make for those companies? Admittedly, I did not read EVERY post, but if they can supply them to some, why not all?
thank you
Did you read this part?
"As many of you are aware, on Friday April 20th, Dave Olson - Lionel’s Director of Engineering, announced at the Legacy Users Group meeting in York that Lionel would effectively end the sale of the Electric Railroad (ERR) Upgrade kits to consumers in May of this year. He also stated that Lionel would continue to endeavor to support the existing OEM manufactures (Atlas & Sunset Models / 3rd Rail) who utilize the Electric Railroad technology moving forward with boards to support their products in market. "
That wording to me suggests the current design may be in jeopardy at some point for the OEMs as well. Maybe not today, but at some point. As others have stated the boards are the same.
