There are four things that caught my eye on Lionel's web page advertising K-Line.
1. The Black-Red Santa Fe Paint Scheme.
2. The billboard advertising the Circus.
3. The Super Street system.
and
4. FASTRACK, not K-Line track.
Yes, I noticed that too. It may not bode well for future releases of K-Line track and switches!
My thoughts exactly, Dr. John.

The 1:48th Scale Locomotives from K-Line are folded into the Lionel Standard O Locomotive Line.

Superstreets is the one thing I keep hearing people talk about. I think it's gonna be a great seller.

Allan,
Where did you see that about the 520? That might be on have to get list especially if it has Pennsylvania markings. I wonder if the Lionel catalog will have a 520 PWC version.
Keep on training,

I often wonder if Lionel absorbed K Line for their Superstreets and tubular switches (Lionel just can't get tubular switches right for some reason). I can picture Lionel selling starter sets with a trolley and super streets for $75.00. A Fastrack Superstreet grade crossing has to be in Lionel's plans. A 773 Hudson broadsiding a 520 boxcab would be an awesome sight let me tell you.
I understand Lionel will not be sponsoring the K Line club. I wonder if they plan to sponsor a "Fans of the 520" club.

Well, regardless of what Lionel may do, rest assured that if and when Lionel/K-Line reintroduces an upgraded version of the 520, the long-existing "Friends of the 520" society will celebrate and welcome all new members. No fees and no requirements--but I'll see what I can do to get us a webpage and perhaps even a blog.
If I could have dedicated the article on the 520 to anyone, that person would have been you. You have been a true believer in the 520. While the timing of the article and the release of the new 520 is sheer coincidence (at least as far as I know), it is kind of nice that it is being released again. I wonder if it will be a separate sale item or if it is part of a set.
