Roundhouse Bill posted:My hope is that there might be a throwback to the Pacifics and the Mikados from 2006 that had TMCC. Lionel told me that the tooling is lost and gone for these, but they do have examples of the castings and running gear to use as models. They were good looking engines.
Lionel should (or their builder) also have the data files for their O scale USRA locomotives. It would be a matter of rescaling the drawings and making changes for a smaller drive. (Easy for me to say, I'm not paying the engineering costs...
) And of course, the cost of cutting new tools.
Still, with what little I've played with a freind's FlyerChief Geep, I have to say it's a pretty nice little system. I could see it becoming the standard for all but extremely high end Flyer locomotives.
