2023 Vision line locomotive?

My vote goes to a really nice hand cart with steam sweat effect...

But really, maybe a new rendition of the PRR T1? It would go well with the new 5550 that's being built!

Bout due for a diesel.

I figure you're kidding but I would like to see things go in this direction. I think huge engines get the Vision Line treatment because there's more real estate to cram special effects into but it would be cool to see fancier, smaller engines. Like a Berk or an RS3. The hand cart would be a great start

But I wouldn't be mad if a Vision Line Jawn Henry or Triplex popped up. I would get a second job to afford it haha

There has never been a Legacy Dreyfuss Hudson. I have no clue as to if Lionel now owns the MTH tool for it, but I suspect a Vision Dreyfuss would be a hit.

Would like to see a Diecast diesel again, Berkshire or FEF-3.

Still hoping for a modern diesel, preferably an ET44AC/ET44C4, SD70ACe-T4, or Siemens Charger. New Vision features could include rotating bearing caps on the trucks, dynamic brake sounds/control, and road name/road number-specific crew dialogue. If the BNSF ET44C4 is made, I also want the trucks to have the correct truck side frame details. A set of modern rolling stock such as new Vision Ethanol Tank Cars would be great. I'd love to see a Boeing airplane fuselage train similar to the UP Rocket Train from last year.

Streamline PRR TORPEDO.

I'd like them to go back to the "never seen before in O gauge" mantra and make something completely new.  I would also like to see something smaller and less expensive to have a broader appeal.

There is one hint on the Lionel support website. Hint Number 1, its an engine that has been done by Lionel a few times.

They're revealing it online during York week if I heard correctly, right?

LOL!  Ed you're killing me.  I've been accused of being in "the know" and now your dropping a hint like Burr dropped Hamilton.

As far as I know yes

Just as they remade the Vision challenger and the Vision 2-10-10-2 they are going to remake the Vision Big Boy and Vision GG-1.   Just a matter of time.   Could be one of them.

But if I had my druthers I would love to see a Vision NYC Dreyfuss Hudson.  Most beautiful engine ever built.  Then we all pester Scott Mann to remake the Golden Gate Depot 20th Century limited cars for it to pull.

Ive heard they have the molds for the AT&SF 2900 class. That would be awesome to have a VL AT&SF 2926! Sunset 3rd rail came out with the 2900 and so did MTH in premier and rail king.

Vision Line AT&SF 2900 Class

Smoke stack & Whistle steam, new swinging bell (different because the 2900's bell wss on the front of the locomotive), dynamo steam, road number specific details (dual len headlight vs singular headlight), possibly a way to make the stack extend like the prototype (may need to use the technology like the diaphragms on GG1).

LIONEL PLEASE MAKE THIS LOCOMOTIVE CLASS!!

NYC Dreyfuss Hudson or PRR T1.

Lionel isn't familiar with the smaller and less expensive mantra.   I'm in for the PRR T1 Duplex.

Word I heard from someone who knows someone at lionel, but seems a Lionel VL Dreyfuss is floating around "soon".....

Lionel offered a Dreyfuss with tmcc back in 2002. So they (should)have the tooling.

I could be wrong, but I believe they lost it as part of the lawsuit.
