Rats, I can't get the catalog to load again. It probably will in a few days.

Can anyone tell me about the tank cars with sounds? I looked over this whole post and gather that there's a couple of sets of them? individual cars?

This is my favorite Lionel product and I am interested!

Thanks for the direct link!

When I click it, the load goes about 2/3s over and stalls. The last time I tried I left the room for awhile and it still never loaded.

For those who are trying to load the catalog and it stalls, may I suggest trying a different browser. 

I'm looking at the SD45 in MRL, BN or GN U33, a few other things caught my eye, but $400 for GN heavyweights?! C'mon man!  OK, on a serious note, does anyone have an idea why these might be worth the price?  Lionel sometimes releases really nice items with limited descriptions and only after release does the realization of value become apparent.  Do these cars have superior detailing aka GGD or the recent Atlas, are they full of very realistic figures (yes they have figures), is the lettering 24 gold overlay (jk)?  Yes, I may be fishing for the right reason to buy.
