"Unfortunately, Lionel seems to be in the business model of re-issuing the same engines again and again."

This also has been the business model of MTH for about a decade. No one is doing much new tooling for whatever reason. But other than the 44 ton diesel, what has MTH done? Lionel has done multiple examples of new tooling, although perhaps not anything you or I covet, but let's be fair. MTH has done next to nothing after many years of providing a lot of variety. The hobby industry for three rail O isn't exactly in a growth phase. Just like during the years 1969 through the 1990s, you're going to need to shop the used market for many things no longer available, and prices will be according to supply and demand. That's reality as far as I can tell.
