From: Alan Lambert Lone Star Flyer Club Hurst, Texas Thomas, Maybe we all need to wait and see what the MTH SD70's look like and then do a comparison of the 2 and see which one is the better choice. Looks like Mike wants to see if Lionel will step up with thier detail orietated toward the scale side so parts wont have to be added later. Just my thoughts.

It's a shame that a gentleman's agreement does not exist. In fact, it wouldn't even have to be a gentleman's agreement, just plain common sense will do very nicely. If Lionel already has the SD70 on the market, why in blazes duplicate that locomotive considering how thin the market is and how tenuous the prospects for sufficient profit? MTH could produce plenty of locomotives that have not yet entered the market, from both earlier times and current production. What utter nonsense to duplicate what Lionel is doing! I thought people in executive positions had more sense than that. That's why they are where they are. Apparently, that is an unfounded assumption on my part.
