Can you tell me where the link for the new catalog is?
At nassauhobby.com tomorrow at 9am!
Hmm, not sure yet.
I do know I will never spend $2000 -- or even $1000 -- for a train but that's me. Not part of my area of interest. Have my eye on some of the Lion Chief Plus items and will likely pick up the new Universal Remote.
I like to look over new catalogs for a good week or so and let things percolate. Often I'll see things later that didn't catch my eye the first time around.
I would but I got a layout to build

Oh, wow. Do you mean like the 2400 Green PW passenger cars (Maplewood, etc.)? If so, those go on the list.
What do people guess the SD60 in "first responders" markings will bring? My son saw this locomotive at Union Station in DC and went wild for the real thing. That's why I ask. Thank you.
Thank you Charlie!
Where are you folks looking at the catalog?
Lionel accidentally uploaded it yesterday. Some folks saved it before
they pulled it. Some folks are using the product search to look at some of the items that have already been put on the website.

Here is a link to the product info page on Lionel's web site for the SP Consolidated. No smoking whistle...bummer. I am a lot less interested in it now. I had hoped for a swinging bell, oh well.
Don't be discouraged yet. The FEFs do not list whistle smoke on the product page either but folks who have seen the catalog says it's there.

I will keep my fingers crossed! On the web page, there is an artist's rendering of smoke coming out of the whistle on the FEF, but no mention of it in the features listed next to the pic. So, yes, better to wait for the catalog!!
I think it would be useful to see the catalog before I start picking what I'm going to buy!
I run my trains and cars. I don't collect, so! I don't see anything I really need for my layout.
YUZ GUYZ are jumping the gun, wait for the catalog to appear on Friday, then ask
looks like the scale milk cars are back.
What new catalog?
You don't need to . Some of the items, like the 8-door boxcars, are already on the product finder.

It has taken them 3 years to finally to put some of them in a catalog. Some of these milks cars were announced in their shipping schedule back in October of 2012.
Listed below are the cars that were announced in their shipping schedule dated 10-15-12 which I copied from that. And they were listed on their shipping schedules until 12-3-12. And 2 of the cars are still using the same item numbers.
6-29981 Borden's Milk Car #525 Jan, 13
6-29982 Central Vermont Milk Car #525 Jan, 13
6-29983 Hood's Milk Car Jan, 13
6-29984 Supplee Milk Car Jan, 13
6-29985 Boston & Maine Milk Car Jan, 13
I asked about these cars at the York October 2012 meet.
Sounds like a lot of nice stuff that I'd like, but I'll wait to see the catalog, and the MTH catalog, and the Atlas O catalog before I decide.
Look up your favorite railroad in the search on the Lionel website.

They were never officially "announced". They were listed on the shipping schedule by mistake, prior to their official announcement in a catalog. Then, before the catalog was issued, they had technical issues and got pulled from the catalog.
Ever had one of those Consolidations apart? I have; there's not much room inside for bells and whistles (i.e. swinging bell and whistle steam). I won't say it's impossible but I don't see how they could do it.

I'm definitely going to pre-order the new SD60e's, either the 9-1-1 or the 6920 since I have seen both. I really hope they use this horn on the SD60e's because it prototypical to most of them.
great sounds
An Espee 2-8-0... Lionel found my one weak spot!
I don't have any Lionel Legacy diesels. However; I just noticed they are doing the First Responder diesel. That may be my first!
Very easy for me. At the most 1 Black 844 and maybe some scale rolling stock.
Did I miss the "all new" accessory?
Milk is back!!! The Vermont and B&M milk cars for me
"Nothing for me today, thanks!"
The Legacy GP9's look nice and the 844 will surely be a stunner.
I'm no rivet counter but that rendition of the WM 2-8-0 bears little resemblance to the real 734.
Ok, well hold the phone.... 21" UP business train in 16V1? Yes please.
Legacy 844 with whistle steam for me !!!!!!!

I'm in for the Vermont and NYC
Plus one of the 8 door 86ft boxcars
At first glance, nothing. Don't get me wrong, lots of cool items in there. Just nothing for me this time around. Unless the auto parts hy-cube 2 car packs are being offered again with different rode number then count me in. Also really like the SD60Es. I think Lionel will sell MANY of these. But I'll hold out to see if MTH offers them.

OH YEAH!
Sign me up!
I could hardly contain myself when I saw that also!
FEFs-I've said for over a year they would be back with whistle steam...and, I'm happy to see numbers other than 844 with the catalog comment about road number specific Sellers and Worthington feedwater heaters....

Page 131. The crane sounds work house.

So far I am going for all the 86' double door cars. I think this is one of the best catalogs yet. I myself wish there would of been some more wood chip hoppers........Paul
Looks like its a Heisler and 2-8-0 consolidation for me along with a few accessories!
No must haves, wallet may be saved till October.
Bill T.
It looks like I am in for the Cass Scenic RR Heisler 6-82813.
