With the Lionel 2019 Catalog coming out today, these are Southern Items in it. They put in Southern 2-10-4 in a fantasy scheme. I heard beforehand that there was going to be Southern 2-10-4 in the catalog but I thought it might be the Southern Cab #610 that was used in excursion, but I give Lionel credit for not creating the 610 with this tooling since it would have been wrong. in the catalog Lionel was also correct to mention that this engine did not exist on the Southern railroad which sometimes they don't do.
Southern Heavyweights are back in the catalog again as they were offered in the last Catalog. Several 2 car packs are offered as well and Southern baggage cars. I have RPO and Station Sounds car still on order which are shown here.
Southern PS-1 Boxcar with Freight Sounds.
In traditional items, they are offering a new series of boxcars called Railroad Heritage Series which are made in the USA with one of the 1st ones being the Southern Railroad. I assume they may offer other road names in the future. I am interested in this one.
