A Sneak Peak of the Lionel display at York next week!

First place I will go when the doors open.  Have a good show MIKE and LIONEL!!!!  YUZ GUYZ are the BEST!!!!!

NIce. That school could also be used as a 1930's or postwar 1940's office building. I can't wait to see the car shop and the other new building.

The Lionel School reminds me a lot of a American Flyer Station.

Mike, what are the lineside details made out of? Plastic or metal like the current scale Mainline items? 

Jim,

The school should remind you of the Flyer station, that is the basis for the building! Just reconfigured some tools and viola! new O gauge building, fits really well on an inside corner to add some interest! (and fill up otherwise dead space).

HIRAILSTEVE, The lineside details are made of polyurethane resin, factory painted and decorated. The ones we will have at the booth are our 3D printed versions, but it will allow folks to see the detail and understand the scale of them (yes, they are 1/48th scale (1/4" to the foot)).

Thanks,
Mike

Do you think the VL GG-1s will hit the US before January 1st, 2017?  The picture looks great.  Can't wait to see it in person.

Mike, thanks for sharing this preview.

I like the vets SD60E and the water tower kit.

see you next week.

Thanks for sharing Mike. 

When can we play with the Motorized Gantry Crane on our layouts?

Thanks for the details Mike!

Has the Flyer station been remade?

Really loved the video of the gantry crane. Cannot wait to get mine that is on pre-order.

I hope for the sake of enthusiasts who pre-ordered one of these GG1's, that the possibility of a Christmas arrival is still possible.  However -- assuming normal shipping channels -- that would probably imply they've already been manufactured in late-September and already getting ready to be shipped on the water today.  (I'm using the recent Daylight GS-4's as an example, which just arrived in consumers' hands in late-September, and their shipping boxes had a late-June date-of-manufacture.) 

The current Lionel shipping schedule is now showing a January 2017 ship-date, which could imply a late-January arrival in the US.  That would be consistent with Charlie Ro's updated ETA of 2/10/2017 at their store.

But perhaps Mike can shed more light on the actual VisionLine offering, and where it currently sits within the overseas factory.

Wow would my kids like a gantry... (and maybe just maybe me too)

Some GREAT  stuff!!! The school is cool....the A looks great, the disconnects are a must have. Neat!!

That's why I asked him. 

Cool, I'll be sure to come by and check it out.

The Vision GG-1's will make 2016. Now, whether they make it by 12/24 is a different story, but I can assure you they will make the year. 

C.W., yes, the flyer station is being remade 8 years ago, in 2008, under product number 6-49839!

Thanks!
Mike 

Anyone going please find out if the new Canadian National #8100 SD70ACE patch job unit will retain the same ultra glossy paint finish as the Electro Motive Division #2012 SD70ACE Demonstrator unit from 2013. Thanks!
