I’d buy a New York Central set with O-27 passenger cars and a LionChief Plus 2.0 #221. The tooling was hardly used at all...

A NYC Dreyfus Hudson, Commodore Vanderbilt, J1e, or L2a would be nice. I also would not mind B&M 3713 or a B&M Berkshire. I also kind of regret passing on the Heavy Mikados a few years ago, and based on a previous post I think maybe.... Knowing my luck, all these things will be cataloged at once, and I'll get overwhelmed by the choices and not order anything.
Is it just me, or should the Vision Line and brass hybrid lines merge into one? That way, Vision Line models could fill their original purpose by being brass: never-before done, unique models.
And please let the force couple from the VL Niagara find its way into the catalog again! Amazing feature that makes quite difference, and always useful, unlike multiple smoke units (as cool as they are).
I say keep brass and vision separate. Brass is all about the detail and vision is about features. For some of the features you have to sacrifice detail/ scale fidelity.

a big wish for me as well as a torpedo engine and baby turbine
A Lackawanna Pocono is my wish.....wasn't into O Scale until a couple years ago so I missed out on the weaver model.
I am concerned that they will duplicate GP7 and GP9 diesel loco less commonly produced railroad schemes that 3rd Rail might also produce, such as the Grand Trunk Western.
I would also be interested in a re-release of the Dreyfus Hudson (1938 please) IF the matching cars are also announced. I have two passenger diesel streamliners (Lionel and 3rd Rail) with no matching cars to pull.

Hello Harry. The heavy Mikes are great. Forum sponsor Nicholas Smith has almost all of them still in stock. Click on their clearance/special page. Good price. I have the NKP version and really like it.
BTW, I’m pulling for a Dreyfus as well.
Dreyfus Hudson in both standard and pt tender versions; water scoop effect, & a scale 20th century limited in the 2020 signature catalog.... kind of makes sense.
I am also waiting to see what details Derek gets out of Ryan. Derek said the podcast is very long so I will find the time to work on something while listening. While the catalog is always fun, Derek does get some information that isn't always in the catalog.
An L70 LRT in Houston METRO. But I think MTH has the Siemens contract. CAF might be possible, but like METRO and Amtrak Viewliners, it would be years late.

Its my understanding that brass models don't have "tooling" in the normal sense like diecast locomotives do so the tooling cost question isn't a factor. I think the higher cost of brass comes from labor costs but someone else with more experience would need to chime in.
I will be looking for fallen flag rolling stock from lesser popular southern railroads; e.g., NC&StL, Clinchfield, Central of Georgia, Georgia Railroad, etc.
I do have two Clinchfield PS-2 covered hoppers. So, I might get lucky again.
I would like to see the Dreyfus Hudson as well myself. I would buy as many versions of it I could as that is probably my most sought after engine. I have held fast on not buying any of the TMCC versions of have seen floating out on the web or in stores. I figured that they would have to make them at some point in time. As far as features, I just hope that they make it as correctly as possible. I know I should say right, but I don't even know what they right one would look like. Let's just hope they get it to where the head nods approve and without many head shakers.
As far as what else. That really begs questions. If the Dreyfus is there, I doubt much else would grab my attention. If it's not, and there are no PRR or NYC steam, I will probably have a light purchase if nothing else is there other than stuff I missed in the Legacy versions already offered, Y6B mainly.

Not so smart actually. They were not made very well. They were somewhat unique for their time with a lot of detail but they are very fragile. Nothing like 3rd Rails brass version. The CCII engine is very solid. Give it 4 chuffs and it would be near the equal of a Legacy engine.
That whistle steam will cost you a grand more than the CCII engine.

Sounds like the Dreyfuss is the choice by popularity. I'm a little surprised since MTH did one a while ago. That is exactly why Lionel will do the Dreyfuss. I for one have struggled with the MTH Premier. I would gladly do a fire sale on it if Lionel were to release one in VL.

Next week, and it’s not “Fake News”!
Siemens Charger, Union Pacific VisionLine and VisionLine freight would be tops on my wishlist.

And before the day is out, or by Tuesday, folks will be wondering what's going to be in the next catalog...

You guys acting like a dog running around a fire hydrant!

Yes more hints please!!
Kinda hope it is a dreyfuss hudson so I won't be tempted to spend big bucks lol. About the only thing that would get my wallet open is a scale AA set of DL&W F's, E's, or scale DL&W steam that is accurate to what was actually owned by the railroad..... Guessing I'm probably safe there. I am interested to see what LC2.0 products come out though..... Could spring for something neat in that line.
Nothing can beat the GGD/3rd rail Dreyfus 1938 20 Century with the 12 passenger cars —
More hints
Hoping to see a Yellow Belly with all the trimmings!!
Any Western Maryland items?
Charlie,
It would be really cool if you would do a special run of Lionel LIRR GP38s...just sayin.....
Thanks,
Sunrise

Doubtful. I think Lionel would have a hard time selling people a train nobody has seen in person yet. Im aware one prototype has already been built, but people generally line to buy what they've seen in real life.
They have not made much of the classic 1960's and 1970's SOO LINE diesels and cars, so there could be a large amount coming.
