Someone here already said a Lionchief J class and while I'm on board with that idea, how about some LC 2.0 versions of the gas turbine switcher/rotary snowplows? They've sort of got a start on that with those Lionel Junction starter set diesels as well as the old command control versions of the rotary plow turbines, but I'm not sure if fitting all of the LC 2.0 electronics plus a rotary plow on an engine that small is even possible.

If you're going to do that, you might as well bring back the Acela.

Two things:

1. Bringing the Acela back could very much so happen since Ryan has said they have been reworking the design.

2. Lionel may have lost the tooling to the Veranda but then again I though they lost the tooling to the PRR S1 but here we are with one being produced. It could happen but we shall see when Lionel reveals what new wonders to be hold.

The latest rotary snowplows, with command control and using (for the first time) can motors, aren't old, given that they were cataloged in 2016. Therefore, it seems unlikely they will be produce more as LC2plus anytime soon. After all, they can already be run with Cab 1, Cab 1L or Cab 2 remotes. (For that matter, the older TMCC Pullmor-motored ones can as well.)

Should Lionel make LCPlus2 snowplows in the future, as far as size, it seems that if Lionel can squeeze the electronics in the Docksiders, which they're doing, it seems it should be possible to get them inside the Vulcans.
