BREEZINUP, Yes, your exactly right, The Tooling Cost is the Big Expense, and I think the Demand for these Super Nice Heavy Locomotives is there....If Lionel did a proper Upgrade looking at whatever are problem area's, upgraded the electronics and made some new Road Names, as well as the Original Road Names, I think there would be a lot of orders....Since Lionel is Venturing into Brass/Hybrid Steam Locomotives, then, they should re-consider making these Die-Cast ES44's....
