I don't do Facebook (I don't have an account), and I could not see anything different either.  Is FB Live some other site or something???

 

So Hope somebody that knows this FB can post for all of us train guys who don't do social media.

Ok now we can have one to run while the Century Club one sits on the display shelf. 

I will ask Dave Olsen if Lionel might consider a rework of the century club Niagara gears in their repair shop, now that parts may be available from the new Vision Line program. 

If I heard correctly the VL Niagara has a completely different drive system than the Century Club Niagara. Additionally, they have replacement gears available for the Century Club version.

Good news about the CC club replacement parts. So I was hoping for a factory refurbish program but I guess may be able to find someone to do this .

I just watched the video and the Vision line offering has a lot of great features. Noticed in the presentation that there seems to be several road numbers available. They did mention the new Gear box for the CC club owners. 

I would hope that Lionel would consider doing a 21 inch car set for the 20th Century limited , 1948 version. complete with the signature Hickory Creek.

Replacement gears have been available for a year now . Try contacting forum member Alex M.  He has replaced a few, as well as done  a four chuff upgrade and  synchronized puffing smoke.

This NYC Locomotive should be a really neat, fun to run Steamer. Although a similar version to the Century Club 2 Model, with  all of the new features, new running gear, and blue tooth capable, especially the three speaker sound system, I am pleased. Whistle steam, the tender water scoop spray effect, 80 MPH operation, and all the other Legacy features, if price is fair, I may be a player....TBA....Thank You Lionel.

Its just another remake. Big deal, added features. That is NOT what Vision Line is supposed to be about. Not even remotely interested.

"Debbie Downer" bounced over here from another, very negative thread to take an additional swipe at Lionel's announcement.

I was enjoying the positive atmosphere of this thread.

Thanks to those posting some informative, positive information.

(BTW, I was at the Museum this afternoon and the loc is going to make a number of operators very, very happy.)
