just saw this on their web site---and there is a video---do we really need another big boy even with a few new features?

I'm full up on Big Boys, but Lionel must think we need another one. 
We don’t but people will buy it and Lionel will make money.
Maybe if they had a trade-in policy.
Not me , but I could sure go for another VL Hudson using the rest of the K Line tooling.😉
I'm not a fan of the muddy details and errors of the first VL hudson

We generally don't, but Marty's right. Other people do. There are many potential newbies following UP 4014 as it travels around the West and Midwest in 1:1 scale.
Lionel can't, and shouldn't, ignore new blood coming into the hobby. In 2023 they're in a good position to sell every last one of these new ones.

That's another $2500 engine I won't be buying....
Hey you can never have too many Bigboys. I was over at the LHS yesterday and my good friend RODney was showing me an absolutely gorgeous die cast G scale Bigboy. Very well done, and only $4500! Good thing I'm not into G scale.

I'm returning to the hobby and I missed the last run of these. But I'll happily have anybody send me their functional Visionline Big Boy if they really don't want me to buy this one
