You know what else is coming in July? The Base3! (Finally!) We'll get the new control system to play with and a new catalog to check out. Hopefully there will be some great stuff in the 2024 V2 Catalog. Here is my fairly long wishlist:

-Siemens Chargers (especially ALC-42s) and new Superliner Cars

-EMD F125 "Spirit"

-UP Big Blow Gas Turbine 3-Unit Set

-Modern Grand Canyon RR set w/ F40PH and passenger cars; addon cars/locos sold separately (just rode this train recently; an amazing experience!)

-Physical Cab3 Remote w/ Wi-fi

-Fastrack Turntable w/ Command-Control

Plus, all the new Legacy locomotives in the V2 2024 Catalog will have 4-Digit Addressing.

I would like to see them offer the 48' Husky Stack containers for separate purchase.

Get the license to produce Halloween franchise items like cars and the Myers house. Would love to have the Myers house to add some fun and spookyness with a Michael Myers figure standing on the porch.

The Munsters house or Adams Family house.

Rebuilt CSX EMD units with the "Spongebob SquareCabs"

Speaking of licensed merchandise. I've been shocked they haven't snagged the rights for Star Wars. They already work with Disney. I feel like if they gave Star Trek a shake. Unless the license is just absurdly high...

Lionel made a Star Wars set in 1978.  Not trains.  It was a race car set made to look like a Darth Vader Tie fighter and Luke Skywalker X-wing.  At the Time, both Lionel and Kenner toys were owned by General Mills and Kenner toys had the Star Wars license.  Lionel made race car sets called Power Passers for about three years.   Since you are an LCCA member, you can find the 78 Power Passer catalog in the digital file on the LCCA website.   I don't think the Star Trek set sold all that well, that may be why there is no Star Wars.

I don't think the Trek items did well either. But Star Wars has a much larger fan base. So, who knows?

I'd also love it if they did some higher quality Thomas & Friends items. I grew up with the old series with the actual model trains. I don't expect Vision Line but something more in line with what you get out of the LionChief 2.0. I think a few of us in our mid to late 30s would have an interest along some of the younger folks.

My wish list for 2024 Vol 2

Lionel Trains and Star Wars; two of my favorite things. Also, I forgot to add an EMD/Progress Rail SD70ACe-T4 to my list, and also ATSF Super Chief  and El Capitan scale passenger cars. The Phantom locomotives (with both freight and passenger consists) are a must for me, too. I also want some modern freightsounds freight cars and modern Vision freight cars. We should get CN Heritage Legacy ET44ACs, too. Finally, command-controlled Postwar-styled accessories should be made.

You must be a tycoon to be able to afford a list like that!

I imagine with Disney already a licensee, Star Wars is already in the bag.  But we all know Star Wars has a smaller fan base than Star Trek so if they couldn't make that work Star Wars doesn't have a chance.

I am also a fan of Trek but nothing Lionel offered was interesting enough to get me to splurge.

I also have to wonder why we haven't seen any thing from Marvel Comics since that should also be an easy one. It really is wild to think about all the stuff Disney owns now!

idk if i have said this before

but how about a train set compatable with LEGO  bricks.

marklin and LGB have done it

and just imagine the play value build your own train that can work with other lionel trains

c'mon lionel team up with LEGO and let the cash cow give milk

Vision Line re-issues:

* GG1

* Baldwin Centipede

* Niagara

I would love to see some Groom Lake items in not the cartoonish schemes but more of a dreary spooky theme for LC+ 2.0 and above.

I believe all we are going to get are reissues of current tooling (Lionel and MTH).  So for me, some steam era freight equipment especially in correct color schemes for late 40s would be nice.

I’ll add my two cents for the new catalog.

1. Legacy RS-3

2. Reissue of the 40 ft flat cars.

3. Reissue the PRR C-Liner with the proper four wheel rear truck.

4. New line of 60 ft passenger cars.

I would think the opposite is true, that Star Wars has a larger fan base and would do better than Star Trek. Star Wars is truly iconic in our culture, and also has plenty of spinoffs regularly running on cable networks. Star Wars themed toys have also been extremely popular with kids for a long time. My grandkids have Star Wars stuff, and know it's characters, but no Star Trek things at all. I don't think they know anything about Star Trek.

I've been asking for 6 packs without any load for years!
