Anyone know if Lionel will be at October York this Fall? Or is that over now?
(MTH too, for that matter)

As of this time they are no longer attending York. But things can always change. I hope they and EDTCA can reach an agreement and Lionel returns.
Let's hope so this October, they are using brand new tooling for the Visionline engine, and it would be nice to see the prototype in person.
I get the sense that Lionel has abandoned York permanently.
While Lionel's presence or absence won't affect my attendance at or enjoyment of York, I think it's really dumb for them to not maintain a presence in front of the folks who buy the lion's share (pun kinda intended) of their high-dollar items.
But instead of opining/venting here, wouldn't it be more effective for the folks who care about this issue to mount an email / telephone campaign and contact Lionel management and EDTCA leadership directly, rather than hoping they'll see these forum threads?

There are reasons why Lionel doesn’t attend York anymore. While I do not have details, rumor has it there are issues between Lionel and the Eastern division. So don’t everyone assume Lionel are the jerks in this matter.
How many times do we have to discuss this? These threads nearly always end up badly and/or have a very negative tone. I am closing this thread and if any of you want an answer, just contact Lionel directly.
