lionel canceled the k-line engines

I read that lionel canceled the k-line by lionel pacific loco and the k-line by lionel switcher. I was wanting to get these it’s a pitty. I wanted a k-line by lionel train set and to be honest I like the look of the new logo.

Which switcher? I was counting on a porter.

If you are talking about the B&O pacif, I wouldnt get it. I just got the orignal k-line for 100 dollars more and comparing it to the kline by lionel version it pales in comparison. The orignal k-line pacifc has more sepretly applied detailsand is scale.

They cancelled those engines from the 2006 vol. 2 catalog. Those were the ones with the hideous graphics and outrageous pricing.

Are yoy talking about the S2 switcher? I hope not. If so, what’s with them? Why take it over at all??

Tank god those were pretty ugly in my opinion.

These were announced as cancelled months ago! These were the loco with the “K-Line by Lionel” swoop logo painted on them in the Lionel 2006, Vol2 catalog.

The engines in the 2007 catalog are still on schedule. The B&O Pacific in this catalog uses original K-Line tooling.
