I have to admit I am extremely underwhelmed by the announcement, a trolley and a Toby, Meh.

With all the steak the On30 guys get every year and we get a few bones. I posted this on MLS, think I'll add it here as well:
...the On30 line has several offerings that if up scaled to 1/20 would work just fine on R1s, the Porters, the Railbus, the Mini-Hiesler,the 2 cylinder Shay, even the 2-6-0 Mogul could be done in a way to work easily in R1, making them marketable to just about anyone in LS, or is just that (more likely) their market research shows that the LS market has breaking up into two specific categories, a significantly contracted adult market where 1/20 is currently strong but that future demand is starting to lean towards 1/29 hence the Trolley, and a small but growing children's market, that would explain the Lil Haulers and the TTTE stuff getting equal shift with their new 1/20 products.
Have fun with your trains
