Are New LC+ Diesels Still Coming With Brass Tubing Axles? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Bill NielsenOGR Forum Member

Maybe Dave at Lionel can answer this question. Are the new LC+ diesels still coming equipped with brass tubing axles? I seem to recall reading that the newer LC+ locos were going to use steel axles, but I don’t know if that included new production runs/paint jobs of previous releases, or only new releases that have never been in production previously. Specifically I’m interested in the FEC GP38...

For what it's worth, all LC+ diesels going forward will have solid steel axles and metal gears.

Thanks guys, but since Dave’s Post was just in February, and so these models may have already been in production prior to the switch to metal gears and steel axles. Because of this possibility, I would like official confirmation on this particular item, just to be sure. I guess Dave may not have seen this post, so far.

The change will occur in next year's production. Metal gears and solid steel axles.

Just use the @ symbol and the user's forum name and it send them an alert. Typically as you type it drops down with the user's name. @Bill Nielsen

Ironically it was Dave that showed me how to do it and I suspect he's regretted it ever since. LOL!
