Yes, and if you read that thread carefully, you will see who is spreading rumours.
Nobody in that thread said anything at all about any compatibility issues until he did.

If I or any of you had made a post like that here on MLS, you would have most likely received an e-mail from the official/unofficial spokesperson, condemning you for spreading rumours!

Several have.

Wait a minute!
The World Class Expert on such matters is certain to have opinions on the validity of HIS interpretation to the DENIAL of yours!
How much do you want to bet, as in cash, that HE has stipulated, based upon HIS vast knowledge of the matter, that there be TWO sets of chuff triggers in the locomotive?

Of course, when that is pointed out to the entire hobby world, HE will blame YOU for failing to interpret the data correctly.

You ever wonder about these "rumours" amd what starts them?
Recall "Loose lips sink ships"?

All starts with someone involved speaking out.
Or, something simple like "we can't discuss the K" and have threads yanked.
ANYTIME that forum pulls threads wholesale, best be advised someone got too close to the truth.

The gas-mechanical gets leaked.....denied, as in threads yanked, then admitted to, then announced as ready for delivery, then nothing.

The LS Caboose gets announced (finally), then delayed until next year.

The tank cars were another.

Where do you think the speculation and rumours come from?

You get one person claiming he has no affiliation with a certain company, yet he posts threads which certainly SEEM official, about the direction the company is taking.

And, you get one person from that company tell folks he has actually HIRED said person as a consultant.......

Who do you believe?

How much mis-information may be purposefully leaked?
Who knows?

All one has to do is look back and see what has transpired in the last year, and you will be shaking your head in disbelief.

Dear Garrett,
I believe they will be shipping next week.
I ran them in Anaheim, and they're great!
Have fun!

Been two months since they "shipped".

Shopatron says they have it available.
So far, nobody I know who has ordered one from one of the bigger outfits has gotten theirs.

Kind of odd MLS nor LSC has any "reviews" of this locomotive.
