Sorry for being ambiguous. No I do not want them both coming out with exactly the same models. My issue is that we want them competing like crazy to expand the whole S market any way they can. And for the market to absorb all the new product, they have to expand the market. Obviously they are interested in drawing the younger modelers as seen by their announcements of modern diesels, even though us old fogies like me will probably never buy any of the modern stuff. But if they expand the total S market, the demand for everything goes up, and things we only dreamed of ever seeing may pop up, both old and modern models. And easy to install signals, turnouts, etc. - Earl Henry, Nashville . In a message dated 7/6/2012 10:18:18 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Earl, Again all conjecture right now…. but if MTH & Lionel were to come out with new locomotives each at the same time why would you want them to be the SAME locomotive? The rumor mill churned up that MTH is looking at the SD70 when Lionel announced it earlier this year. I would prefer 2 new and different items.
