Thank you, Kars,
     I see there are quite a few 2026's on ebay.  But I had my heart set on something new -- I guess I'm trying to feel young

Best wishes,
Steve

Hi, everybody!  My locomotives are getting old and tired, like me.
  I want to buy a brand new locomotive that runs on O27 track and can be controlled with my recently fixed transformer.  Any recommendations?  I started searching online yesterday, but I have not found much.  My old 2014 Lionel Signature catalog has eight LionChief Plus diesels, and it says they are all "Minimum curve O27", but when I look the numbers up online, Lionel now says "O31".  Here's an example: 6-38825 -- a Union Pacific GP7.  Another from the same section:  6-38819 -- a Rio Grande RS-3.
   Lionel's 2020 Big Book online catalog shows five small O27 steam locomotives .  One example is the SANTA FE LIONCHIEF PLUS 2.0 0-6-0T #95 SKU: 2032010. Does anyone have experience with that type?
    Or any other?

Thanks and best wishes!
