If pictures can be shared it'd be appreciated - for me I'd like to see the Hiawatha and PE Berk.
Wish I could make it, hopefully lots of pics taken so I can see what I'm missing.
Please bring a sample of the new Milwaukee 261 steamer. I have one on order and want to check it out.
Thanks!
I have no idea if Lionel is doing another Brass Hybrid engine yet.
Come on Strasburg #90!

From what I hear, look for an announcement from Lionel this summer; the hybrid will be an eastern railroad.
BIGRAIL- I second that emotion! I saw it today at Strasburg.
I'm starting to like the Niagara and the Mohawk. Where's Pete/Norton? Are you going to York?
Did you order this engine?
( sneak a picture??? 
)
I know it's a one-off, but perhaps in the future you guys could do a Vision S2a Niagara. The S2a was used in tests by the NYC vs. an E7 A-B-A and it won, only losing in the availability category. Pretty much the same tooling except the valve gear, which was Franklin rotary cam poppet valves.

By a lot? Did she out pull them? Sounds interesting.

I hope it's something other than a PRR K4 or a NYC Hudson!
I also hope it will have steam whistle and swinging Bell just like the PRR H10!
How about a stool sample?

Please clarify your post. Exactly what did you see???
An announcement for the announcement that Lionel will do an Eastern Road Hybrid to be announced late summer/early fall or...
You actually saw what Lionel was going to announce this Late summer/Early Fall.
Inquiring minds want to know!
Thanks David, I appreciated your showing the smoke effects and it almost pushed me over the line to pre-order the Niagara; however, I ended up purchasing the MTH PRR M1b. Keep up your good work and I will take a chance to buy it at the York Fall show after its September 2018 delivery. Your explanation of your modifications to the sensor track as well as your new hardware (at least to me) was very enlightening and appreciated.

It sounded like he was referring to seeing the real Strasburg #90.

@Dave Olson, will Lionel's FB page have photos from the show posted of the samples?
Saw the grey VL Niagara today. Looks good. Anyone trying to decide which Niagara they want would benefit from taking a look. Thanks Lionel.

I hope to see some better pics. I’m on the fence between the schemes. Wish I could see it in person.

Thanks for the pics,Marty. What's the red or orange thing on the tender?
This paint scheme just don't do anything for me and kind of reminds me of the gray Hudson they did years ago. It would be interesting to know just how many orders they receive for this particular flavor but it will be like the wise old owl and the totsie pop,we will never know
