I've read all of the posts concerning the demise of Err. I just finished another about a Gentleman making a N&W Y6a out of a Lionel Y6b...There were a few Pictures posted of an engine that was custom built by ( D500 ) from a Williams 2-8-2 Brass engine into a GM&O 2-10-0. he also added Err electronics.
This is but one of many who do this type of work. I realize that a company can't put their futures into what may or may not be bought, but if they are going to do it for 3rd Rail, and Atlas, make some more for the rest of us.
I myself was getting ready to call Ken, and spring for new electronics for my Williams Brass N&W J611, Lionel 6-18000, and a couple of sets of the Williams E-7's that I have.
Well yes, there is MTH DCS, but after some members of our Model Railroad Club were invited to visit, and see the "Pennsylvania and Western" Model Railroad, and run trains with the owner. I got a whole different take on just how good the Old "Lionel TMCC System" truly is, and the Err is just a modern upgrade for that...
This is just my 2 cents, and not worth much to anybody, but I do hope that the new owners and engineers of Lionel Fame will certainly reconsider what they are about to do....
Maybe Mike Reagan will rethink, and get back into the electronics business once again, thus filling a void for all of us Model Railroading guys....!
