Maybe they were just trying to make a big splash with the LC+ 2.0 line in this catalog, and will have more LC+ (1.0) in the fall catalog. The lion master big boy (many clammored for this one), PE berk (likey will be big seller), FTs, and tier 4s are all nice splashes for the LC+ 2.0.
I agree with this and is what I was hoping for. I was one of the ones saying that I would like something akin to the MTH Imperial Line (semi-scale, lots of detail) with LC+ features. Well, that's what we have with LC+2.0, although not actually having seen a LC+2.0 engine in person, I don't know about the "detail" part. But I never expected Lionel to abandon the LC+ line completely which is what it looks like, so far at least, they've done, which is kind of dumb. I mean, they carved out a really nice niche with the LC+ price-point and now it's gone. Actually, that's dumber than dumb.
