UH... the idea of the Lionel Nuclear Reactor being "modern day" is laughable! As is the AEC transport cars! I got into trains when the AEC stuff was NEW. All I am saying is the technology used to make these accessories is still based on 50's engineering. Even the livestock cars still LOOK and operate with the same old technology and tooling. I am not opposed to re-release of the classics, just want to see and hear about some real innovation.

So you are fairly new to the hobby so you want newer innovation? What I listed above is new technology and there are a lot more. Be patient and better things will come. How many times have you sent a nice email or letter to Lionel asking for what you stated. I don't believe Lionel has a crystal ball and you don't need to wait for forum input.

I have been collecting and operating Lionel trains since 1954. Believe me, I feel lucky with the new items Lionel is releasing.
