Lionel 2020 V2 Catalog - What Are You Hoping For?

Im hoping for a 21" congressional set from Lionel or 21" f.o.m painted trailblazer.

I wish Lionel would announce more of the sought after Weaver models such as the RS3 and GP38 and Roadrailers-especially the smooth side ones for Triple Crown and Amtrak!

Frisco passenger cars to match those E-8's from the Vol. 1 catalog.

The Gomez Addams Railroad.  Engines go 6 feet down the track, sings "The Addams Family, Click, Click", blows up, never to run again.....

Truss bridges which self destruct automatically when a train is on them...

Wonder if an ancestor of Gomez was at the staged wreck at Crush, TX?

Western Pacific LC+ 2.0 Mikado.

Hybrid Disney Steam Engine

Spider-man F40ph

Transylvania GG-1 (orange 5 black stripes)

rat

I would like a Pennsylvania S1.

A scale 611 N&W J with all the Legacy goodies.

Frisco 1522 and sisters

Union Pacific 8500 hp “Big Blow” 3 unit gas turbines

A sincere appreciation letter to Mike Wolf for pushing the Industry/hobby forward. From contractor to competitor, and yes litigant, Mike Wolf's effort forced Lionel to innovate and catch up. Which they did extremely well.  

Beyond that I am always hoping for a large Reading Company steam locomotive that is not a T-1.  With the future status of dcs equipped locomotives currently in flux, the right piece of equipment might make me switch back, but the price point has to be right.

Something I can afford.

The Canadian Pacific Military Heritage engines.  All 5 in Legacy would be great.

Better QC!!!!!!

Would really, really love to see a Lionmaster PRR T1 again. Always thought that was such a cool locomotive and given I can't afford nor run (curve limitations) the scale version such as MTH produced, this is the best. 

Fingers crossed, especially given Lionmaster products reappearing under the LC+ umbrella. 

A device to enable control of LC/LC+ locos from the Cab-1 and Cab-2, and a device that will enable control of TMCC/Legacy locos by the Universal Remote.  As Ryaninspiron has discussed and shown possible. 

Retrofit kits so that LC, or, preferably LC+ can be put in conventional locos or locos with command systems that may have little or no future (sorry about that).

One tinplate or similar standard gauge loco and a few freight cars in standard gauge.

A subway set.

At least one postwar remake with LC 2.0+ that is affordable to most hobbyists.

I agree. Especially on the 2.0 set. The F3 set was very nice but not 1k nice.

Last time I saw Ryan Kunkle... which was maybe around January.. I told him i was very interested in a Congressional set and his replay was "that would be very cool to make"

So, at least the idea of it is on their radar

As far as existing tooling goes, a set of VIA Rail F40s and some matching 21'' passenger cars would be awesome. From a new tooling standpoint, Strasburg Rail Road #90 would for sure bring some hardships to my wallet. 

A Legacy PRR T-1 would be nice if I'm honest.

K4 with short haul tender (like the 2011 release)... and with the same paint colors they used back then!!! The bright aluminum smokebox and bright red tender deck paint on the recent H10s hurt my eyes
