Lionel 2018 volume 2

romiller49 posted:

I read more and more about a volume 2 catalog. I thought since the 2018 catalog included everything that was it for 2018. 

Ryan Kunkle has been saying from the first catalog that there would be a second.  I suspect it will be like previous Volume IIs with a rehash of Volume I, a few added items, and a preview for 2019.

On one of the Ryan and Dave shows they mentioned models like the H-10 have numerous possiblities with roadnames and the two tender styles. I suspect we"ll see the H-10 in new offerings.

Hey Rick, I no nothing about the history of the H-10, but really liked the model's features, size, and price point.  Any idea what other road names are possible given the history of the prototype (I realize fantasy schemes could make the answer infinite)?

It would be cool to see some more Amtrak stuff like a metroliner or acs64. Or some NJt Arrow 3s or an ALP45DP

Well that is a disappointment. I was hoping the new Hybrid was going to be announced, some hints on the new vision line release and a possibly a couple of revitalized steam releases... like possibly another Challenger or PRR M1b?

Also, a few add on cars coming for my UP excursion set?

Well I've been known to look at the glass as being half full...

Et44ac or AC4400cw would be awesome (scale)

What's the disappointment?  I said "I suspect".  I imagine the Brass Hybrid announced.  We don't know yet.  It's all conjecture until tonight or August 20th.

I believe Lionel would sell a lot more H10s if they replaced the cow catcher with the foot board pilot to reflect how it looked after WWII.

Only if the headlight is in the correct location per road name unlike the ES44AC.

I do remember when Ryan visited TrainWorld in 2016(I believe), he was asked about Strasburg #90. His reply was he knew #90 well since he worked out there and it was something definitely on his list. I would say that it will come based on that, just a question of when since I don't think they have ever done an engine like that. If they do indeed do it, it will have to be perfect otherwise I would imagine Ryan would get the evil eye.

Whatever does come out will as most usually say, stuff from the other catalog with some new things here or there. I'm not sure what I would be looking for, though some would say Hudson. I think that we may get something that has been a while (I hope).

Only if Norfolk southern placed the headlight in the same place everyone else did.

Agreed 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need more equipment of today!

I can't wait! Maybe more new subways or scale M7's 8's or the new M9's. I would love a re-run of the 2-10-4 Texas with cylinder steam and whistle steam. 

And yeah, brass hybrid! Maybe it will be a beautiful passenger steamer.

If they make number 90, or any other Strasburg Steam, it will need a full-sized front end coupler.

I would love to see a rutland mogul that runs correctly right out of the box and not take a year to fix.  Do you think that will in the new catalog?

Lionel went over the new catalog at the LCCA convention today. Ugh. LOTS of UP is all I really remember. Some SD40-2’s too.
