The 2018 lionel catalog is now online. 236 pages!
Starting on page 198 there are 22 pages allocated to the American Flyer line.
As we suspected Lionel is continuing the Flyer Chief line with the addition of a FlyerChief Baldwin switcher...but...WITH TWO MOTORS!
Here's a short list of the NEW items I could find:
6 new FlyerChief Berkshires
4 new FlyerChief Baldwin Switchers (2 motors and 2 electrocouplers) (a really neat paint scheme for the Potapsco & Black River RR)
1 new FlyerChief Docksider set
1 new Aquarium car decorated in the blue/yellow American Flyer Lines scheme from years ago. (I guess this is the O gauge connection again)
5 new waffle boxcars
1 new 2018 XMAS boxcar
4 new 2 bay hoppers
2 new cabeese...C&NW Bay Window and a Neat Wabash cupola caboose
There's lots to look at.
