When I search the Lionel site for Allegheny all that comes up is the new H7 offerings and the 2007 JLC TMCC Allegheny.
i would really like to see a new issue 2-6-6-6 VL Legacy Allegheny with whistle steam etc.
Wouldn't that be great?

I agree. The Big Boy's in the Vision Line, and the Allegheny was Lionel's first articulated steam engine back in 1999, so it does have some important status in Lionel's history.
Wonder if it could have the same features as the Big Boy, including the depleting coal load?...

Well it is a rather infamous spot in Lionel history since it kicked off the entire MTH/Lionel lawsuit.
I do love my 1999 version of it though.
Absolutely, I can't afford any more UP steamers. Hope the next few years they do something other than UP engines.
The Allegheny would be an awesome choice.
No Vision Line Allegheny! There is just no money left in my pockets!
Funny stuff J!
What parent would not agree?
I was thnking next year for the Allegheny; after we all recover from this year's zealous over-buying!

Yes it is! Enough UP already, bring it on.
Not being that big a fan of the locomotive, my K-Line semi scale version is enough for me. I only need one in my collection (Everybody should have at least one.), and it fits the bill nicely.
I think its a great idea, though I am perfectly happy with my mth premier version.
But give it a few years so those Big Boy big spenders have time to replenish their train funds after the VL BB is delivered!
It's probably time, yes. But like the Big Boy, I have the JLC issue, so it will sit that one out, too.
There are many VL locos I would buy, for example, an ATSF A-B-A F3 set (warbonnet of course), each of the three units with sound and smoke and power.
I have purposely passed up the TMCC Allegheny a few times in hopes we would eventually see a VL (or at least legacy reissue)
I really am maxed out on Articulated Steam (VL UP Greyhound Challenger, Legacy UP H7, TMCC C&O 2-6-6-2 Mallet, and soon VL Big Boy) I think if the Allegheny is reissued i will be saying goodbye to my Mallet.
Bottom line is YES. If an allegheny is reissued, i will own it.... I grew up with my mother working in Dearborn, MI at Greenfield Village (where in their Henry Ford Museum #1601 sits) so the Allegheny is partially responsible for my love of trains in the first place.

I forgot to add; it would amost certainly have to be a C&O; maybe 1601 or 1604?

How about both?
I would accept a VL Allegheny. Would rather have a VL C & O 4-8-4
