Possibly. I suppose it would be a cheap round-about-way to find out how many
scale guys are interested in "scale friendly Flyer."
What they didn't indicate on the video was how much the scale wheels were going
to cost. Somehow, I don't think they'll be for free or exchange.
It's kind of a strange way to try to appeal to the scale market. It will be
interesting to see if any scale guys that pre-ordered cancel out on the U33C.
After paying around $400 for the locomotive, tearing out about $100+ of
electronics and paying unkown amount for new wheels tends to diminish the
attraction of the U33C for scale use.
After all, (apples and oranges time...) a PAIR of scale wheeled, DC American
Models U25B's MSRP for less than the Lionel/Flyer U33C.
