No surprises since the YouTube leak from two weeks ago.
Thoughts/Opinions:
The anniversary passenger train looks... Well... I'll be polite: Terrible.
Pacific's: Nice to see them back. I hope Lionel's finally run out of the gray they used on the Berkshire smokeboxes and located some proper Graphite colored paint. And get the correct color of Cascade Green for the GN, instead of the split-pea color used recently in the O Gauge line.
Passenger sets: About $300.00 too expensive. Why does the rolling stock average out to $175.00 a car when the separate sale are $90.00 each Army cars average out to $95.00 per car?
EP-5's: Returning due to low pre-orders. Is Voice Command the only supposed improvement slated for these things? I thought there were going to be other improvements also. "Dave put a lot of time into redesigning these to make them better (similar to the way the Baldwin Switcher and GP7 have been improved over the originals.)" -Ryan Kunkle
Passenger cars: GN & NH re-catalog.
Hoppers, Tank Cars: Good selections.
Army cars: Over all, pretty good for those interested in building a troop train.
Christmas Cars: Something I'm personally not interested in. I guess good for those who are.
Polar Express: Back again. Searchlight car is new.
Track: Nothing new.
Voice Command: Now you can yell at your trains if they don't run and maybe they'll listen..
Missed anniversary opportunity to look forward:
Rusty
