Len Caparelli is selling a limited run of them; see the ads in CTT.

I'm not sure if Lionel even intends to make those Alco FAs anymore. They haven't been
cataloged in the past few years, and I believe the FT unit is now their new "small" road diesel offering (even though its actually scale-size). In any case, WILLIAMS is actually
coming out with their own reproductions of the Lionel FAs (sometime next year?). They
already have excellent quality reproductions of the 2400 series passenger cars in MANY
different roadnames, including the green cars, but using the name "Luxury Lines".
Apparently, their small ALCOs will be released in roadnames to match ALL the cars
they already have available.

How many green ALCO AA units do you think Lionel could sell based on the 2023 Union Pacific's from the 1950s? The ALCO's would match the green Maplewood, Hillside and Chatham passenger cars from 1948-49.
