quote:


Zahornacky said he's now looking at ways to improve systems already in use by Lionel
while designing new products to keep the company at the forefront of the model train industry.

"My goal is to develop products that sell out, products that people feel like they have to have," he said.



... like an AC COMMANDER,  right Jon ??!!!   Smile

I found this quote interesting:
"Lionel officials finally contacted Zahornacky to place him under contract in the summer of 2006. Then, in February 2007, he was flown to the company's New York headquarters to meet with Calabrese, who offered to hire him as Lionel's chief technical officer"

Looks like the headquarters has been gone from Michigan for some time now.
