I don't think there's any way there will ever be scale LC+ steamers. That would run completely contrary to the purpose of the LC+ line of engines. Why not just get the Legacy version (assuming you can find one)?
If I'm not mistaken, the LC+ Camelback is scale and is from the scale tooling of some years ago.
They may do a little steam engine like that, but I doubt they'll ever do a large scale steamer like a scale Mikado or larger. That's not the LC market. Lionel wants customers to step up-market if they want to get into more scale stuff.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lionel is doing the Camelbacks with LC just to get a bit more value out of the molds - I don't think they sold very well previously.
