Boy I hate to keep this thread going for another nano second, but John, I am sure you will have to agree, if you are interested in S Scale and would like a U33C or U36C the Lionel offering represents the present. If you are interested in a SD70ACe, the Lionel AF represents your future. As with EVERY S scale product I have ever purchased over the last 40+ years (including our own), there are things I would have changed or in my mind improved. But, the world is not perfect and as modelers, if you cannot rectify what you feel needs correcting, pass on it and wait until something more your liking comes along. Don
