Lionel 2015 Volume 1 Predictions

I hate to beat a dead horse year after year, but just give me 1 EJ&E item.

My hopes and wants...

• Alco RS-11 Demonstrators
• scale Lionel livery diesel

Hmmm...this seems like a distinct possibility! Makes sense.

ALCO HH660. B&M; EJ&E......

Agreed, they did the Lionchief PRR  Mikado, now if they would only get the headlight placement right.......

Only this time they will have pricing that we can all complain very loudly about, then go ahead and ante up anyway to be certain to get the ones we want.

More BTO items.

"Yes" to a Carolwood Pacific. And how about a Disneyland RR General passenger set? With a Lily Belle caboose, of course.

I predict everything will be scale only and only run on O72 curves and have lots of fantasy paint schemes like a Daylighter Big Boy, Daylighter scale GG1, and Lionchief remote control freight cars along with a large tablet to hold of your Lionchief remote to run everything at one time.....

I don't care what they bring out as long as they revive and expand the OO line.

That's why I'm worried!

Of course, there'll be two versions: grey or black..  

Of course, I won't be able to live with out both~!  

I was thinking I should create a new business model for Lionel-I PAY Lionel NOT to produce a locomotive I want.  

I'll still be money ahead!

RickO - I'm with you, pretty much, on the J3a/Niagara sentiments (though "enough

Mohawks"? Not until Lionel does a can-motored, modern version if the L3 or L4).

- the de-bugged Niagara (I have one of the older ones) would be purchased by me, almost

  certainly ("almost" only if circumstances just prevented it).

- the Legacy J3a Hudson (unstreamlined) is another issue:

  - if the loco is merely upgraded electronically I would have no intention of buying it.

    I'd love it, but my TMCC versions (more than 1) are so good that I would not feel the

    need to buy the new one. (I've even added shorter drawbars.)

  - if, however, they offer the J3a in it's later (the real loco) iteration (PT tender;

    Worthington SA FWH instead of the Elesco; re-positioned power reverse/running board; modern Gothic lettering style),

    then I'm i big trouble. I actually prefer the earlier (real) J3a a bit, but only a bit,

    so I would want the later version.

How about just doing some new roadnames in the GP9 or 35s that have Legacy.

Quick Casey, I too would like to see them expand the OO gauge line.  This would be something unique to the train community.

Thanks, Phil     

i think the 844 will be the next vision line engine, but it will be next year

i would think the will have some different road names for the heavy mikados

Pennsylvania Heritage ES44AC

Green or black.  WITH rooftop Air Tanks and plumbing.  Please.  Amen.

Bryan

p.s.  ...and without blind inner axles.

Hopefully more new 89' Auto Racks -

I definitely would buy those auto racks if Lionel made them.

Neal Jeter

Now you're talkin', I'll take one in Scale O with Legacy please!

Lionel has been good to me here. They make very little in my road name. I need to do this with MTH, they have my number and are killing me, well my budget anyway!

A LC+ Consolidation please!  Something 1890-1910 preferred.

Not making the ship date......

I'm boycotting Lionel and MTH until I see some F3s and Geeps painted for Chicago & Eastern Illinois.

Lionel, I will take one of each please:

ATSF SD70ACe.............................

Lionchief Plus PW inspired GG-1's, FM's and EP-5's

I predict there won't be anything I want, except they might do a Milwaukee Road USRA Heavy Mikado because they already have the tooling, it's just a paint job, and the Milwaukee had a hundred of them. Of course, all those reasons don't mean it will actually occur to Lionel to make the engine. 

they need to re-release the R30's but in this scheme:

Have it Signed Up as C,H,J or Z 

I predict that it won't be much different than the last one.

Why is it that these threads always turn from a "what will they" into "I wish they would" thing?

My thoughts exactly.  What happened to my suggestion of trying to guess as close as you can to what will be released?

Probably more ES44, SD70 ACE, or Dash 9 roadnames.  What I wish ....

That would be neat, but I would also enjoy it if they included this:

(Until I saw it while visiting, I did not know they ever ran a traditional caboose other than the Lilly Belle at DL)

I'm thinking the CP is more likely though.  Maybe not this catalog, but probably sometime in the next year or two.  I could be wrong (but then again, maybe I am on to something).

-Dave

You can bet that there will be plenty of re-issues with prices that are $20 dollars higher than they were in the catalog from two years ago.  I bought a coaling tower for $150, then saw it in the next year's catalogue for $170.  What's up with that?

B&O Legacy f3's please.
