2019 American Flyer

Thanks Chuck.  Maybe S-omeone who gets hold of a copy can provide us more info and insights.  In the meantime on the one page showing steam engines they look like Berks --- correct?   If so, I wonder if a RF&P is among them.  That would be great I was going to buy one in Legacy, but of course I'm hoping someone actually says, no they're Hudsons.

How is it this guy gets a catalog no one is supposed to see for weeks?

Dealers normally get an advance copy, then the stock catalogs a week or two later.   Lionel usually gives them a date when they can release them.

I asked YT Mike.  Apparently the same Berks as were in the 2018 Big Book.

Apparently there are catalogs for customers to take at the dealers now.  One guy has posted a photo of the catalog over on the O gauge Forum page.  I think he is the same person who posted a brief listing of some of O gauge stuff on the Lionel user (not the official Lionel) Facebook page.  I asked him how much Flyer is in it and he said "a lot."  Didn't ask him to list things as he was already being peppered with questions on the O gauge stuff. 

Whatever, even through the blur I see little to interest me.   Even though I would have liked to pick up a CN SD70 or ES44, (which is apparently in this new catalog) I've narrowed my purchasing options considerably since I retired.

It looks like a good selection of offerings, though.

I swear it looks like some legacy stream. That has my interest. Or wishful thinking.
