In an interesting twist, I can't save the PDF version. I can download it into Adobe and view all of it, but it gets an error when I try to save or print it. What's the purpose of having the PDF version if you can't save it?
That's absolutely the best MTH catalog that Lionel has ever put out. 
All kidding aside it is a great catalog.

I had to give it a minute to finish loading. The PDF is sent in chunks to the browser so you can start reading it, but it looks like some parts of it are being sent more slowly. The download button won't work until the whole thing loads.
I went to the last page in Adobe before I tried to save it, it had no issue seeing it.

Maybe the PDF was put together by the same crew that designed those crappy trucks... 😊

They now describe the ore cars as Standard O scale.
The ore cars being O scale seems to be unlikely, given how small they are.

I cleared all the Firefox temp files, and changed the behavior of PDF files to SAVE instead of OPEN IN Adobe, and I was able to save it. Could be something was corrupted, hard to say.
The Husky-Stack well car is finally being offered in the TRAILER TRAIN scheme.

No problems with saving .pdf using Mac OS Big Sur/Chrome. Probably a specific browser/preferences/settings issue as GRJ noted. I'll give Adobe this, .pdfs usually work with rare exception.
When I click to read the catalog this is what I get:
Any ideas what I can do differently?

Well I was looking through the new catalog and got excited to see the 2-10-4 in SF but they dumped the cylinder cock steam so a little disappointed with that. Nice to see the Cab 2's will work with the new base 3.

Try to download it directly from this link:
Does that Base 3 device have any power wattage of its own, or is it just a multi-control center?
Art, nothing in the description suggests it provides any external power, other than the low power DC to the LCS connections.
There is a USB port, so that may potentially provide some low power, yes? Do not think there will be a conventional output at 5-10 amps if that is what Art is asking.
I would bet big money there isn't any 5-10 amp power source provided! However, the real guy to ask is obviously @Dave Olson.

There is no conventional output of the Base 3. You will control Powermasters, ZW-Ls, and ZW-Cs like you do now. If there were you would have a common and power output. There is just the "U" connection.

Thank you very much for the link! What is the difference that it allows me to open/download the file? I'm trying to understand why my system is allowing it to open.

It's your browser. It won't let the fancy Lionel online viewer, which doesn't use PDF's, operate properly.
Downloading a PDF file directly from the link bypasses this Lionel viewer. The file goes directly to your PC's PDF viewer instead.
