Nothing for me. I like the Boston and Albany 4-4-6T, but I'll pass on this one like I did the K-Line version as there are no passenger cars to go with it. It would be an orphan shelf queen.
The commuter engines are tempting....but I'm not sure.....already have enough engines for commuter traffic....on the Put

I liked the new catalog. I was hoping not to find anything in it because I bought a ton of stuff from the last catalog. But again it was not the case LOL. I still have to place my order but here is what I am getting.
Canadian National tank engine
8 PS-1 soundcars
7 60' box cars
2 Therm ice reefers
Deep Rock and Sinclair tank cars
Manufacturers Railway set
Extra tank car to go with set......................................Paul 2
Sort of the opposite for me. Ordered nothing from Volume 1 so have nada in the delivery pipeline.
Definitely leaning towards one of the LC 2.0 GG1s, possibly an 0-6-0, and an I-12 caboose.

8 PS-1 soundcars
After the fiasco with the first sound cars having repeated banging echo rather than flange squeal I'll have to hear these first. Was track side at an event with 9 trains passing in less than three hours. Sound wise the random flange squeal frequency far surpasses cars with flat spots in the consists. There will need to be a quick TMCC/Legacy way to turn it on and off rather than turning the car over.
Morristown & Erie S2, local line for me
Pennsylvania Vistavision Dome, like the name "Catenary View"
There are items I will purchase but not preorder. We are fortunate that some dealers buy extra units for their inventory.
NYS&W S-2, but I will wait until I have my NYO&W F3's back before I commit. I understand it should be soon...

I hear you! I spend my money on boos, gambling, and women! The rest I just waste.
I think this is a great catalog. If money weren't an object is be ordering a ton from it. That being said, it is so I'll have to limit myself.
I plan on ordering the 4014 excursion version (although first run is cool), the 4141 funeral train set, and probably one odd the additional excursion car 2 packs.
Stuff I like but won't buy due to money includes the Jupiter and 119 plus matching cars, ACL 4-8-4, NS OCS, Alaska RR set, and the Southern dome car.
I’ll order a few of the PS1 boxcars (now that the thumbtacks have been killed), the PolEx caboose, and a soon-to-be-announced special run F7 from one of the dealers. I’m really trying to talk myself out of an ATSF Northern. So far, so good, but it’s early.

I saw a custom run F3 - Central of Georgia on Legacy Stations website (Tempting). Interested in what F7's you are talking about. Wish there was a way to know all the special runs being done so one could decide before jumping. I of course already ordered the Cotton Belt - Waited a long time for these. But some Frisco (Correctly Done) or Missouri Pacific would be great. Or maybe some correctly done L&N (black & Cream).
Just received this e-mail from Trainworld • Trainland
Maybe the next "Lionel Catalog" will have this locomotive, seems like the HO crew always get's new items first.
The Amtrak Charger goes right by my train room, be cool to have this loco on my layout.
Maybe the next catalog: Gary

Anyone planning to order the Bush 4141 without the cars, consider buying the set and I will take the cars. Given the pre order price for the set vs the engine and cars you will save a few bucks if we split the cost. You buying the set means you will have the warranty on the engine. I have no interest in a warranty on the cars. PM me if this interests you.

I'm leaning towards the LC+ GG1 and a flat spot boxcar.
NUTHIN!! -That's new stuff for all you well-off dudes... For me, if it ain't used, ain't on ebay or auction, ain't available at a train show or swap meet, then it tain't mine! DCC or DCS? TMCC? Legacy? 'Lion Chief'? Sound? -NOPE! -Give me a good old fashioned open-frame motor where I can still hear the electric hum and buzz and still smell the ozone... Let me hear the actual real sound of small metal wheels click-tracking over tubular track and I'm in toy train heaven! I don't really care about fancy complicated bells and whistles nor the latest electronic gadgets. (And if I ever do, I can wait. -It'll all depreciate soon enough... ;>})

Any thoughts on the Lionel train table. Price is a little high but it includes delivery and set up. Not sure how they are going to do that. I’d like to get some more details.
I’m with GRJ, I ordered the BETD Porter. The price is right and it gives me a chance to try out LC+ 2.0. It can haul scrape in gondolas from the yard. I wonder if BETD gondolas will be offered. On the other hand, since #15 is now Thomas, maybe Sodor will do 😝
Where is the train table shown, a link maybe?
Is anyone in for a 2-8-8-4. on the fence with price
ChooChoo1972 posted:Where is the train table shown, a link maybe?
It’s near the end of the catalog. Paste 144. If it had more Lionel detail I’d be tempted.
A lot of stuff I like but unfortunately I don’t think I will be ordering any of them. I have been waiting for Lionel to do a Legacy PRR T1 for some time now. Don’t know why they don’t I think it would be a big seller especially if they offer a as built, in service and a near end version. Here is the stuff I like:
4-4-0 Hybrid PRR - a lot of money for a engine not in my modeling era
4-6-6T US Army - nice but need a 45% discount to put it in line with what I paid for my H10, B6 and E6 Legacy Steamers
G Bush SD70Ace #4141 - Great President, war hero may regret not ordering this one
Morristown & Erie S2 #14 - Saw the M&E go buy when I worked for Nabisco in their East Hanover NJ Location another may regret
Penn Central F7 AA set w super base B Unit - As a PRR fan I just can’t buy Penn Central
Alaska F 7 Passenger Train - love the colors I don’t run 21” passenger cars
NS Business F7 Train - see above
PRR Catenary View Dome Car - Love the name see above
PRR 60” Boxcars - too big for my era on the PRR
PRR 0-6-0T Switcher - may pick up later if on sale or at a train show
Shark Research and Rescue Train Get - I don’t do non scale but love the fins. Who gets rescued the shark or its victims?
Prisoners 6 pack - because I am a republican
HO Army Hospital Train Set - not my scale but nice set.

I've heard they cannot make that engine (as well as the N&W Class A) due to losing a lawsuit with MTH decades ago. They can do the Lionmaster version, but not scale.

Skip, you have a Postwar heart and soul! That's a very good thing. LOL, Arnold
Dear Lionel,
In all seriousness...
Instead of all these silly fantasy schemes....
If you really want to be smart at charging those prices just to burn up inventory, I would posit that you might be so much more successful if you just offered plain solid colors, black, green, red, blue, and grey along with a decal set of options so people could customize the locomotives with their own tabletop railroad/business/or nickname.

And the Dreyfus Hudson. I don't know if they can't build it period, or if there are some terms and or conditions in the suit that prevent them from doing for some stretch of time. I wouldn't think that would be the case(but what do I know about that). It could be that they have to start from scratch on toolings, and haven't even got out of that box yet. One can never tell. I know I have mentioned it at York to Ryan on two occasions(Oct 2017, Oct 2018) about the Dreyfus.

Thought the same about gondolas for those 0-6-0s. They do have the new small dump cars (no specific livery) located on the next page of the catalog. A 4-car set. I may consider those.
Edit: Item No. 2026010, Side dump car 4-pack.
When I heard about the Penn Central F7 set I was all set to order it...... until I saw it was a post merger set. I was hoping it was all in PC black.
A few items interested me. I may order all of them, some of them or none.
- I-12 red B&O Caboose
- UP Excursion add on passenger cars
- Northern Central 4-4-0 #!& "York" & matching passenger cars (Only because I road this train)
- Santa Fe 4-8-4 #3751 (I've always wanted one but I'm still on the fence. I like the matching passenger cars but I may look for a MTH set that has people in it and get the Stationsounds diner )
I'm still pondering a Legacy Challenger from last catalog. I've had fairly good luck with Lionel, but I just don't know how long my luck will last.
I ordered the Bethlehem Steel version of the Docksider. With all the features I thought the price was a misprint! Can’t wait for it to arrive.
ToledoEd posted:I ordered the Bethlehem Steel version of the Docksider. With all the features I thought the price was a misprint! Can’t wait for it to arrive.
I also just ordered a Docksider although it's the Brooklyn Terminal livery. I'm a big LC+ fan and am looking forward to my first LC 2.0 loco.
Just ordered the Legacy Missouri Pacific 4-8-4 Northern,expected delivery is June 2020. We will see.
Well...finally tracked down a catalog....looked closely at the "#90" in the "Strasburg" set, but it is an 0-8-0, and not a Decapod. Bummer! The UTLX tankcar is HO, and not O. Bummer! Everything else looked like summer television. Woe is me.
Pre-ordering the LionChief 2.0 765 Berk for my birthday. Getting a logging disconnect caboose for my birthday as well. Going to convert it into a Narrow Gauge caboose for a yet-to-be-built three-rail O scale version of the Talyllyn Railway in Wales.
turbine posted:Is anyone in for a 2-8-8-4. on the fence with price
I would certainly like to own the Western Maryland version, but the price is way, way over my budget. I am not saying it is overpriced, just that the most I could put into any engine is 1/3 of that.
All Union Pacific for me although only passenger cars. In the UP Excursion line I have gone for (1) add on set #4 which is the one with the Lone Star Business Car and (2) the Promontory “Experience the Union Pacific” former RPO baggage car.
The catalog illustration of the latter car shows it has six wheel trucks:
Please pardon my ignorance but although this strikes me as definitely unusual compared to all of the other Excursion cars offered by Lionel, it seems to be accurate to the prototype, at least judging by the below image:

I would like to mention that Charles Ro, mr. muffins, and train world put the wrong photo for the #4 pack. It shows the wrong vista dome and the second car isn’t even the observation car. Any thoughts?

A couple dealers have the wrong photos.
Additionally, the catalog shows Lone Star and Kenefick with 4 wheel trucks, but I confirmed with Dave that they'll come with the correct 6 wheel trucks!
Only thing of mild interest is the set of four side dump ore cars.....some items are unbelievable, such as all those super short cars on one truck. Could have provided a list of items that R&D $ would have been better spent on.
