I think there maybe more to the voice control than Howard eluded too. Just my feeling.
Just as I expected so far, allot of fantasy items and very high prices. I used to look forward to this catalog but unfortunately no more.

It said diecast in catalog. Prr, alaska, up, and others with super Bass auxiliary tenders

They say RS-3's and K4s in the LionChief Plus 2.0 line!

Nice to see a parts source for existing ones. Should allow upgrading

You know, I'd actually be substantially tempted by a Veranda Turbine in a General Electric demonstrator scheme, as I am far more interested in these locomotives than I am in the UP, as such.
GE built all the UP's GTELs, and did indeed paint the first GTEL for the UP (UP never owned it, though) in a GE scheme, before it went yellow.

Your wallet is safe D. No GE but 6 other fantasy schemes.

Any other passenger cars in there?

A relief. A disappointment. Much like my PRR S-1 6-4-4-6 Pilot version that did not show up in the last catalogue.
But, that Pacemaker L2a Mohawk...aren't there laws against that? And a train to go with it!
And, Lionel - how about a full-valve-geared and can-motored version of your "old" L3a Mohawk? MTH-facilitated or not, that was way before Korea Brass and lawsuits.
I have to say I learned something thanks to the catalog. I had never heard of the Cardinals train. I first thought it said the Cardinal, now an Amtrak train. I saw the red cars and thought is was another fantasy scheme, then discovered the train existed if only for a few weeks. Lionel's version is somewhat accurate even to the cab number on the NYC Pacific. At nearly 2900 bucks for an engine and 7 cars I will be admiring it from a distance.

I have the catalog. A lot of fantasy items. I don't understand how those items sell. Kids don't care about that stuff any more.

Interesting items, although not seeing anything I’d be down for yet. Anyone else have more pics??? 🧐😅

If they didn't sell they wouldn't make them. Someone is buying them and if I recall Ryan once said they are some of the bigger sellers.
I certainly don't care for many of them but if it helps fund other prototypical projects then I say make 'em.
