Yes, I would love to see Canadian National and Canadian Pacific
Has anyone heard any leaks on what will be in the catalog? It's usually out in January.
O scale 40' trailers
BURLINGTON NORTHERN 40' trailers
GREAT NORTHERN 40' trailers
KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN 40' trailers

I would love to see some modern-ish commuter stuff. Maybe some F40PH's painted for Metra, Metrolink, VRE, MBTA.... Otherwise another 700E or Milwaukee Road S3.
How about a Lehigh Valley caboose in the snowbird paint scheme or the yellow jacket paint scheme
How about one of NYC "plumbers nightmare's" H10 class Mikados with the overhung Elesco feedwater heater in the vision line? What other NYC steam is due for a reissue? Mohawk in the Vision line maybe or Niagria with the twin sealed beam headlight using twin LED"s instead of lenses. AD

Sunset Models/3rd rail is coming out with the NYC H10. A brass or a brass hybrid model was the only way we were going to see a model of this specific locomotive.
I have learned to never say Never when it comes to Lionel. Who would have thought we would see some of the engines they have done thru the years. I would gamble to say that nothing from the NYC is "off" the table of possible engines as that road name sells well. The Southern Crescent engines would be my second choice to see from big L. AD

A little demanding there aren't we? Next your gonna want customer service to answer the phone and emails.

- B&O F units in passenger colors (also haven't been made since TMCC)
Could you explain what you mean by B&O passenger colors? Do you mean the more blue that's darker than the powder blue of the postwar F3s?
Somewhat echoing your thoughts, I'd love to see a set of O27 Alco FAs with LC+ 2.0. I know they made them with LC+ a few years ago, but I never grabbed onto LC+ because it didn't work with TMCC/Legacy or DCS. If in LC+ 2.0, I might grab some.

I just refer to it as B&O "passenger" colloquially, to differentiate with the solid blue or sunburst schemes. I believe the Geeps were painted in this scheme when they were used for passenger and the solid blue when used for freight, but I could be wrong. A B&O historian would have to correct me on this.

SD70ACu’s in Norfolk southern and CP Heritage!
There was a request for PENN CENTRAL PS-2-CD covered hoppers.
The LionScale PS-2-CD covered hopper is close to some of the ones PC had.
Here is a recent photo of a PENN CENTRAL Pullman-Standard built covered hopper that is now owned by CONRAIL.

That is what can be made in the LionScale O scale line.

If the modern High-Cube 60' plug-door boxcars were produced in O scale and S scale, it would be great if the models had opening doors so these box cars could be loaded or unloaded.
Here is an example of TTX TBOX high-cube 60' box car that I photographed.

I was eagerly awaiting for Weaver to make the Canadian National and Santa Fe RoadRailers.
Hopefully these RoadRailers can be made in the LionScale line some day.

Forgive me if already repeated, but is there a date when the catalog is planned to be released?
@Alabama Joe posted:Forgive me if already repeated, but is there a date when the catalog is planned to be released?
I haven't heard an official date but typically late January, early February.
New catalog drops January 22 that is what Ryan said tonight.
I'd also like to add the SP and D&RGW Krauss-Maffei ML4000 Diesel Hydraulic locomotives to my list. I'm a huge fan of interesting and rare engines. The ML4000 is a German design adapted for US railroads. There is one ML4000 restored to operational status at the Niles Canyon Railway in northern California.

The restored M-L4000 is a hood units, not like the cab units the D&RGW and SP first bought.
Plus, 3rd Rail is bringing the cab units out.
