Lionel 2014 Preview Catalog

I would like to see some Vision line scale rolling stock with sound again!

Hopefully some conventional classics sets in the 2014 preview, didn't the Walthers site also post a day prior to the catalog release?

LEAKS!!! WE NEED LEAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Milwaukee Road and Northern Pacific addict needs to know what is coming out!   Charlie you could always be the Edward Snowden of the O Gauge world and release the Lionel catalog 3/4 days early!  If you need to flee from Lionel's wrath we could help you flee to Canada!  

 

Those of us who are train addicts...are in dire straights! Please leak some product knowledge!! 

 

WOW Charlie, this is just like those Saturday movies we had as kids which ended on a cliff hanger so you HAD to come back next week. WOW, this is SO exciting. 

 

On a more serious note, great to have the inventory online for ordering.

 

Gerry

There will be a BIG leak on Wednesday...

 

Rusty

All this talk of leaks. Now I have to go down the hall.

If you have a local Lionel dealer go there if you can't wait till Wednesday. The dealers have them for viewing now. Take homes have not arrived yet.

Rusty Traque: Snowden is OK but let's hope he doesn't become "Chelsea"  Manning! 

 

Seriously, what we need is someone on the Forum who works for the NSA; he will know all the details of the new catalog for sure. 

Wonderful surprises await you!  

Great Alan!

 

I guess they found out how to keep this moron in suspense!

 

I vote for at least a little leak, dribble or something......

no count down clock as of this posting.

 

No leaks... and no shortage of teases either!!!

 

Leave it up to a Lionel catalog to turn a bunch of us older folks into young kids-before-Christmas again!!!  Such anticipation... 

 

 

David

It is just plain mean!

 

I really hope it is worth the wait as I will soon have money to buy from this catalog!

 

(PRR Legacy Steam and Diesel & maybe some new accessories)

 

I hope the LCS stuff is there too!

Yes, Same here!!!!!

But I think they will be giving this series a rest for a bit....Frankly, I am getting out of the scale stuff, and sticking with finishing my collection of PWC/CC series!!!!!!!!!

Where is Eric Snowden when we really need him?

 

Well I hope there is not to much in there, I just blew a big wad on third rails new plastic RDC cars, some B&O and a PRSL car, ouch! Missed the fist time around not this time. Saw theses ladies every day.

I'm hoping to be surprised with some new and exciting Flyer offerings.

 

But, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not...

 

Rusty

Has anything from "Big L's" 2012 catalogue shipped yet?

I'd list a list of things I want to see... but I have a Freshman in college this year... and one the year after that... and one two years later...

 

Jon

I was just making a generalization.  I have no idea what might be in the new catalog.

Perhaps we'll see the Norfolk Southern SD60-style locomotive done up in the Veterans blue/black with red/white ribbon paint scheme?  That's a natural, and it would be an instant sell-out on pre-orders alone! 

 

David

Doesn't appear to be a Cab Forward as I would think it would be on the front cover.

 

I'll believe this when pigs fly. Good sense of humor Allan.

 

Gerry

 

No, Gerry, I'm telling the truth.  I really have no idea what's in the new catalog.  I kind of enjoy being surprised and looking forward to the real thing when it's released.

I don't expect much will be new in the catalog from what Lionel already said that it will be different catalog.  Usually the 1st catalog is primary catalog of the year and 2nd one adding a few new items.  At first Lionel was planning not to have a 2nd catalog this year so I doubt there will be whole a lot of new stuff to talk about anyways.

I saw the catalog yesterday at the LHS.

 

Bill

Oh, and I paged through it of course.

 

Bill

They need a Gomez Addams set.  A big dollar train which goes 6 feet down the tracks and blows up!

I just have to be patient......no LHS anymore.....

 

Peter

 

I predict that it will contain trains! 

Will this be the normal release time of the Lionel catalog every year?

Nothing like chumming up the waters in front of hungry sharks !

Here is what I saw:

Weathered Sharknoses-PRR, B&O

Weathered 4-12-2

Unpainted J, GS-2 or 4, 4-12-2, and Mohawk

Some more GP30's

N&W J 611

Seperate sale Texas Special, and PRR F3's from the Neil Young series

UP F3's from NY series

Christmas Story 30 yr ann. boxcar

Where the wild things are boxcar, and one other boxcar that was on the shipping list but not in the catalog.

 

Bill

 

Google Lionel weathered sharknose finds:

 

B&O LEGACY Sharknose AA - Weathered (Pwd A #855, Dmy A #857). 6-81597

PRR LEGACY Sharknose AA - Weathered (Pwr A #2020A, Dmy A #2021A). 6-81600

Even though I model the Chessie/CSX I would pre-order that unit in a heartbeat.  Nice call!

I am just asking, if this catalog will go online in the morning, why hasn't LIONEL got a count down clock?

 

I just went to the site and saw no mention of this catalog coming out in the morning 9/11/13 ????????

 

Here it is...

Been reading your replys as I am in Vegas now and since we lost the phone app. can't get back that much. Many changes coming to Lionel, as for the clock, i don't know. But, expect a change in the web site. Lionel will be going back to releasing thier catalogs (AF, RTR and Sign,) all at the same time and back to Feb. instead of March/April. I expect we will see the Fall catalog return and not just as a after thought. Yes this catalog includes the roll out of the new tablet control system. That is the really big news in it. More to follow.

 

Welcome back Chris! (my son from his honeymoon) He missed the Lionel visit for his new wife! :-)

I figure this one will be worth about 4 pages of moaning and groaning. Not really a winner.
