Hi Wtjohn

Gunrunnerjohn did an upgrade on the original with two motors. From the video I was it ran like a Swiss watch after the upgrade and the pulling was increased. I have been look at this style of train I like it because it is different. I have not been able to purchase it and either the pricing was out of sight or I just had funds are lows disease. I would love to find out if they did the GRJ special upgrade on this new release.

 

 

 

This is the response I got from Lionel Customer Service:

 

This item will only have one motor, we do not know where the placement of the motor will be. More than likely, somewhere in the middle of the engine - however until we have viewed a sample of this product I cannot say for sure.  This set is due in November of 2016.

 

Thank you,

 

All of the single motored Phantoms so far have had the motor in the front. If this one has a can motor, I suspect it will be in the front as well. I have one of the later Phantoms, the silver one. It pulls its four cars just fine. The original one was the one that did not pull its consist, as far as I know.
