I took a break from buying any new trains for a couple of years and during that time I ignored Lionel's catalogs. Now that I have come back and have jumped into Legacy I am discovering locomotives I would like to have that were cataloged just a couple of years ago but are now no longer available. I missed out on the Providence and Worcester SD70 because I waited. I just grabbed the very last Quebec North Shore and Labrador Dash-9 from TrainWorld. My take away from the experience is: pre-order it if you like it.

That happens from time to time when modeling or collecting more obscure lines....especially when the model hasn't been issued before....whether it be in Conventional Control, TMCC, or Legacy.

Even people who model or collect the larger lines are drawn to the smaller railroads....that they could otherwise care less about....just for the variety/uniqueness of the item.
