K-line Porter out yet?

[Boyd]

Anyone know if the K-line Porter has been released yet?

I don't know if the new Lionel releases are out yet, but I have three of the original K-Line models, I Love em. If you have never run one, these will run on less voltage than many transformers minimum voltage. If you have an MTH Z-series transformer or a Lionel ZW, they will start with a jerk, and you wont be able to throttle them down slow. This is NOT a defect in the locomotive, try a CW-80 transformer, it has a near zero minimum voltage, and the porter will REALLY CRAWL with it. I hear that the Lionel 1033 transformer has a near zero minimum voltage also, and would be a good match too, but I have never had a 1033, so I can't say for sure. They are a very nice little locomotive at a great price, I hope that you enjoy it if you get one, I really like mine.

We had one come in with last week's shipment from Lionel.  Also a Plymouth switcher.
