Reply to "2015 Lionel Corporation Tinplate Catalog To Be Released Online August 19th!"

Hi Zach,
 
The problem is we keep seeing the same pieces over and over again with slightly different colors. Several of us are looking for something more than the same engine we already have in a different color. What we need is something fresh and new, such as an O gauge trolley or a new building. Every few years we see a chance at something different in tinplate, and sometimes it gets built like the work caboose from a few years back. But other times like last year a std gauge subway was designed and posted as being orderable just to have it cancelled at the last minute .
 
Thanks,
Sam

I think they've done a pretty good job of producing colorful, attractive offerings, granted, on samey bodies, but still the point stands. Thoughts? just another in a sea of opinions,

Zach
