Pretty cool thanks for posting.
After watching this again I really liked that Lionel is adding both whistles and horns in the S1 along with the different bells. This is pretty cool I have the TMCC S1 and it is a very smooth runner. I hope Lionel gets the colors right? If so I might be interested in the Tuscan one. The Acela looks cool in fantasy colors hope no big problems for the GUYZ a that get them.

How would a tuscan S1 be right?

The fantasy scheme color of Tuscan should be Tuscan.

Exactly, not some sort of off red like they did with some of the Heavyweight Passenger cars.

If I were getting a S1, I think the Tuscan one would be my choice as well. If the Tuscan is correct, it should look very sharp.
Maybe they can do a green one with some of the leftover paint from the GN 0-6-0. 
Glad to hear about the Acela updates. Very excited for this one. Everyone who wants one, get your orders in soon so we can have this model made!
Marty,
Thanks for posting I did watch the video yesterday on YouTube and I really enjoyed it. I had forgotten that on the Sharks one of the B units was powered. Dave mentioned that the ABBA set would have 6 motors and could pull any train anybody could come up with. I have a set of the Century Club PRR Sharks where both are powered and they to me could pull anything too and they only have 4 motors. One thing Dave did say was that Sharks pulled passenger trains. Here I think he is mistaken. Sharks mostly pulled freight trains. The PRR did have a set of AA Sharks that were much longer than a normal Shark engine. I cannot remember what they were called or the model number but they had 3 axle trucks like E units did on EMD and PA engines did. I believe they only had one set.
