@GregM posted:Just an FYI, it is my understanding that presently when an item is listed in a Lionel catalog the first two digits of the item number indicates when it is planned for manufacture. So, even though the cars were first listed in a 2021 catalog, the 22xxxxx item number means they should be available sometime in 2022.
That's something I never really looked at. I do know that sometimes there are leftovers from prior catalogs, particularly the coil cars that were features in the 2020 V1 are repeated in the newest catalog. It happens a couple of times because more are produced as opposed to what is sold.
