disclaimer: i have no inside knowledge of lionel just what i heard from a youtube buddy coupled with patterns from past catalogs
I have a feeling the next lionel vision loco will be an entire series like how they did the GS series but with the Norfolk and Western Y class here is why i think that
the next engine will be an eastern road lionel alternates from east to west and they did west the last catalog
the next engine will be something never done in o scale. y variation classes are 1-6b and only the 3 and 6b exist in o scale
lionel has done the j and A recently but hasn't done the y6b in a long long time it would be a great chance to bring back the y6b.
so yeah my prediction is that the next vision engine will be the entire Y series of engines
what are your thoughts?
if this in any way gets taken down because of the chance of truth i understand
BUT Its just a guess like i said i have no inside knowledge just brain power with two college degrees
