Al K. 

Thanks for posting the video for part 2.

 

I'm curious to find out more about the "moderate" line.

 

I wonder if it is going to be:

 

1) Higher end Traditional size items - Baby or Jr. steam locomotives, or diesels with 2 motors and more diecast parts - able to run on on O27 or O31 curves?

 

2) Standard O scale items with less features and details to keep the price down?

 

3) a mixture of both?

 

4) Something totally different?

 

It was interesting in viewing the video, at least to me, how much more comfortable Mr. Hitchcock looked when he answered the question about NASCAR.

 

But, I guess that is only natural as that is an area of expertise for him, and he hasn't been working with the Lionel product for as long. I imagine after some time, he'll be talking about the Lionel product with the same ease.
