I'm waiting for the Biden edition of a Tesla.

I'm not going to order that engine because I like to keep my layout free of politics. I didn't order the Bush or Trump Trains either. However I have to admit that the Biden Engine is a nice looking offering and that there is a sound basis for producing it. The President is definitely a "Train Guy".
It has been widely reported that President Biden has promised to usher in “the second great railroad revolution” in the U.S. and industry insiders are apparently buzzing that this has the potential to transform domestic travel by train. I would love to see that and I hope it's true.
As for the Lionel Engine: Who knows, maybe the President will get one and set up an O-Gauge layout in the White House. That would be cool!

Certainty a White House layout would be a boost for the hobby Emile. Maybe a Christmas layout.

Exactly!! I've always loved political cartoons, regardless of who they are about. History is truly apolitical even though history is very politicized! So I would get political cars that are humorous but not serious. I like to avoid politics in my hobbies but on the other hand your JB boxcar is really funny! JBboxcar

Lionel Facebook page has a posting of the engine. Almost all negative comments from almost 1000 comments posted. Most saying not for me because of politics. Others sarcastically saying this engine will always derail!
I don't have any presidential train cars or engines in my collection because it's not a intrest to me regardless of whom the president is or has been.

They missed the boat, they really needed a "non-powered" unit facing the other way in Kamala Harris RR on it and when you pressed the horn it asked are you feeling ok Mr. President? Or can I speak now?
Matched with a Trump impeachment caboose you are set for 2021!
Sorry guys... just could not resist! This is going to be a rollercoaster ride for the next 4 years...

Will the new loco have to be constantly monitored, prompted and rebooted because it constantly "forgets" its settings?
Will it spontaneously execute unplanned maneuvers? How often will it need its electronics replaced?
Will it intermittently loose contact with its controller and signals?
Will it require ever more power the longer it runs? Eventually exceeding the limits of the power supply?
Will it prematurely fail, thus requiring replacement?
All these and more?
