I have only seen what has been posted online from the new catalog but so far I have seen nothing that catches my eye. The only thing I see are the very high prices. I don't usually complain about prices but Lionel must think we are all rich. My days of buying new may be over. But hey the used market is calling my name.
So what will you buy?

Replies sorted oldest to newest
From what I’ve seen thus far, Ill be ordering the funeral train, #8937, KCS 4006, the Excursion cars, Vistadomes and Promontory.
The Big Boy and UP 1111 are eye catching too. NS OCS is a sharp set too.
I may have to trim some of this fat but..
The Frisco 4500 Meteor, Big Boy first run and the DM&IR “Yellowstone”.
The freight sounds box cars, Great Northern and Illinois Terminal.
Both Green Bay and Western reefers.
I like the BN F set, but I want the whole thing in cascade green so I’ll pass.
The Bush funeral train seems like a good price (considering what the street price will probably be) for what you get. But I will probably take a pass on that two.
I will also get one or two S gauge items.
Overall I was surprised at how many of the steamers really caught my eye.
Ben
I am planning to look at the catalog when it comes out and will decide either to buy or not buy something.
NKP switcher
Not a thing, prices to high, delivery dates uncertain, QC non-existent.
I'll wait until models arrive at my dealer and I read the reviews.
If I miss out on something....Soo be it.
Tom
I'll wait until I have it in my hands, I've got other irons in the fire right now! 
Nothing! Lol got enough on pre order from hobby shop custom run items from the last go around
Wow... this catalog will be a big one for me... it will take a while to decide what fits in my budget... i can relay what catches my eye...
First off, the 4-4-0's look great. I have not really been into 19th century trains, but studying these, the ornate decorations are really fantastic... really drawn to these...
Then the Big Boy 4014... i love the cab floor detail and the big boy sketched on smokebox. This is cool to me because the bearing caps are silver and would look great lashed to my 844 pulling my excursion train.
Naturally the UP#4141 Bush Funeral Train set and all the UP excursion cars to expand my collection and train. Looking forward to a 16plus car excursion train!
I am a fan of the EM1s. Great engine in legacy! I want the NP grey boiler this time around...
Then i want all the fantasy ATSF northerns... Rock Island, DRGW, MOPAC, and the 4524 Frisco looks incredible. Ive also been getting sweet on that ACL. would love that on my eastern steam display case... naturally love the Frisco 4500, but probably go with 4524.
The S2 and S4 switchers are really colorful. Need the ATSF, but may also grab that sweet SusieQ.
The Rio Grande and Cotton Belt are my F7s for this catalog...
I gotta have the Great Northern Circus Ps1 sounds box car... hope they do the series of them...
Probably more DTI box cars and 60ft Santa Fe auto parts box cars...
Oh yea, forgot... the UP#1111 is mandatory for me...
Whew! So much to choose from...
Not much for me. For sure a LC+ docksider and a LC+ GG1. A lot of the stuff in the catalog is too large for modest sized layouts, so much is on the "ignore" list. A number of things missed the mark as far as paint schemes I want, such as no Great Northern F-7/3 in orange/green with black trucks, and no Rio Grande F7/3 with silver trucks. The Northern Pacific S4 would be of interest, but the previous TMCC version is already on the property, so probably that's a no-go.
There is a lot to look at in the catalog, and I have yet to fully take in everything. I will most likely be ordering more than what my typical orders consist of, but that is because there is a lot that catches my eye. I'll post after I decide fully of what I am getting.
Just got the Catalog today and the MTH volume two. If I order anything from the Lionel, it MAY be the NS OCS. I would rather spend my money on MTH... I like the MTH Railking NS OCS even though it only has one powered unit. I may also order an NS SW1500 or NYC GP7.
Docksider and NYC Sounds box car
Northern Pacific S-4 Switcher and the Great Northern PS-1 Box Car.
Nothing. I'm still waiting on my SFRD freight sounds refrigerator from 2018 V2, REA baggage car from 2019 V1, and a Santa Fe R50B refrigerator from MTH 2019 V1.
I'd like an ATSF 3751 class Northern, but I lack the cash necessary for purchase.
Steamers: US army 4-6-6T, BEDT dockside.
Diesels: penn central super bass F7
passenger: auto train & southern camera domes
freight. 2 flat wheels box cars. Not sure wich roads. Probably PC & GN. And a b&o I12 caboose
ill also probably do 1 big steamer. Not sure if it will be the chalked 4014, the in service b&o em1, or the blue goose. (It’s fake but it’s beautiful!)
Big Boy for sure and then a bunch of other stuff. Love the DT&I boxcars!
😎

From what little I've seen so far, nothing. I do expect that to change Monday, when I can really look at the whole catalog.

That's funny. I'd much rather spend my money on Lionel since I spend no money on MTH.
Maybe you should read the title of the topic of this thread. Might be enlightening.
For you.
Have not seen all of the rolling stock yet so there may be some surprises in that category, still waiting on rolling stock from the last catalog. There will be no more pre-orders of Lionel locomotives, been way to many failures out of the box, don't need that frustration.
Maybe a building. From the YouTube video, I didn't see any N&W other than one dome car.
The only thing that caught my eye was the UP Excursion 2-Pack with the Lone Star Business Car. Lionel seems to have ironed out the difficulties that afflicted the first run of these 21" cars (although none of the ones I got, including all 7 of the UP Excursion cars in that run, exhibited any significant paint or similar issues).
I don't think that Lionel has done a business car before let alone one in scale length. This will give me a surplus of end of train cars when added to the City of San Francisco dome observation car and the Fox River theater car but I can always run all three together in some kind of order!
Frankly, even if I had space I would not pre-order a Lionel engine these days because of QC concerns.
I will look at the Santa Fe 3751-Class 4-8-4, as I think it will be a good fit on my layout. I'll probably sell my Sunset brass 2900 Class 4-8-4 to partially finance it, as the Sunset engine is just a bit too large for my layout. It yearns for longer stretches of straight track.
Still wondering what happened to the NYC sound kitchen MOW car from the last catalog? 
It will be years before these items arrive at the door. Might not be around by then?
Haven't really paid much attention to the posted images so will wait until I get a copy in my hands.
As a LC+ fan will definitely consider the LC 2.0 GG1.
And it would be one of the 5-stripe liveries. Tend to like the Tuscan but wonder how that color will come out in the end? That’s always been a problematic one to get correct. Have seen it range from the accurate hue to something resembling a pink. So maybe will play it safe and get green? 
I have been considering the Golden Spike engines since their announcement, but the QC situation is weighing heavily in my hesitance to drop that much money on 2 items. The recent "all items affected" (or darn close to it!) flaws in the Hobby Shops (missing pieces), PA1's (electronics that don't work), and the older well documented Mogul snafu are not helping my decision.
I really like the idea of these items and think they would be a nice complement to the previous BFOC, John Bull, etc, but I'm not overly confident right now.
I'm sure something will find it onto my list. I already asked my dealer to sign me up for the 50th Anniversary Moon Landing commemorative boxcar(I am assuming they are in the catalog, but maybe just on the website? - dealer said they should be in in a couple weeks), and those LC+ docksiders look nice, so I might get one of those. I assume there are probably a few other pieces of rolling stock I'll put on the list.
-Dave
Would have loved a set of Cascade green F7s or NP. Even Big Sky but not a post merger consist.
At least the UP Promontory baggage car. Possibly the UP Excursion 2-Pack with the Lone Star Business Car.
I like the idea of the VistaVision cars but given the video quality issues I'm not sure. Hefty price tag for adding that camera.
Not sure what I will get as I haven't seen the new catalog yet. Charles Ro usually gets one to me pretty quick.
Nothing.
I will order these if/when they arrive at dealers and operate correctly:
Bush 4141 funeral train and UP 9096 and UP 1111 so far.
Dave 
I think that the MTH 2019 One Gauge Catalog has pretty much totally took my checkbook.
As the old saying goes I'll probably go to York in October with barely two nickles to rub together.
.
But it will still be fun!

I was about to respond with a "but these 2 classes are close to the same size" - and they are - but I just threw a yardstick on my Lionel 3271 and my MTH 2903 and did come up with a difference of about 4", including tenders, which is where a lot of the difference resides. This surprised me, but I haven't run either for years.
Still, I wonder how much more "compact" the 3751-class loco will look, compared to the 2900's? Those 2900's - zowie. I do need to make my shelf queen PS-1 version an ERR command loco.
I will buy the George Bush Funeral train and also the FRISCO #4524 Steam and Tender.
NYC 4-6-6T
Deep Rock, Everett and Hercules 8k tank cars
I-12 B&O Caboose
GN Sound Boxcar - maybe
After reviewing the pictures in this thread I am ready to place MY order.
I'll have 2 over easy, hash browns, bacon and whole wheat toast.
The Frisco 4524 has my attention as well - just wish it had a coal tender like it should. May be my sort of fantasy engine for the year.
The Cotton Belt F7's will be #1 on my order form

No fake goose??!!!! I’m surprised!
I picked up my catalog from my LHS yesterday. The LC+2 GG-1 is very, very tempting...
Well I didn't get some of the picks but I will wait and see the Lionel Catalog on line as well as the hard copy. Do far my only order is the Hybrid 4-4-0. I have an RGS per switcher but the decor is wrong. The Lionel version.is correct for the B8 "stand in" but far from being any B8 that for sure! I have the Conrail- SD38 already.
Not a thing.
No orders, but I will pick this up when it shows up at the dealers. A TMCC docksider with good sound, fan driven smoke, four chuffs, cruise control, electrocouplers, etc. for $249.99 MSRP looks pretty good.
One GHW Bush 60' boxcar.
Big_Boy_4005 posted:From what little I've seen so far, nothing. I do expect that to change Monday, when I can really look at the whole catalog.
It did.
I may actually have to break down and get a Big Boy this time. Much as I would like the 4005 (duh), it will probably be 4014, as my rule for steam is, I have to have seen it under steam, in the Twin Cities. Probably going to have to modify a few spots on the layout to be able to run it. The layout was designed before anyone made a Big Boy.
Gotta keep working on my excursion set, and the Experience baggage car. The Amtrak camera dome is a must have. It'll go great with my rainbow Empire Builder. It'll be a game time decision on the GN / BN F7's and the B unit. They are pretty, two of my favorite colors.
No freight this time, but I have plenty of that.
For me this catalog is high buck low volume. To each his own.
Santa Fe shadowlined passenger set and Santa Fe Alco S-4 switcher.
I ordered a GG1, flat spot box car, and a Ford Alco S-2 switcher.

Just for the heck of it - I was curious - I looked up the Frisco 4-8-4's in Collias' book Frisco Power, to find out that only 3 of these locos were indeed oil-burners - 4500, 4501, 4502. You probably already know that.
Four 4-8-4's were preserved, per the book, and, oddly, 2 of them were oil-burners (4500 and 4501), and, to make matters more annoying, 4524 is indeed preserved, but it's a coal-burner.
Oh, well - the model is of an ATSF 4-8-4 and tender anyway. How accurate could the "Frisco" version be?
The only thing I might order is the Amtrak Vista Dome with the Camera. Other than that, I don't seen anything I would want.
Today neither LHS (FFAHS-far, far, away hobby shop, had catalog..one was closed, other had stacks back into 2017 but not this one). When is catalog "legally" available? Gotta see to buy, and then, it has to be of interest. I' rather go through it in shop than take an expensive one home with nothing in it.

I'm in for 2 of the 0-6-0T and sound boxcars, at least 3 of them. Would have been interested in adding another 4-6-6T if they were closer to 650 or even 700.00. But not at such a ridiculous increase using K Line molds.
Some things from a combination of NYC/New Haven/GN/BN. Probably those munchkin sized NYC passenger cars just because they are cute.
Nothing for me I’m at the point that I don’t need anything.
Maybe the Ford 50' Boxcar and most likely that's all.
Are the B & O cabooses smokers ? I didn't see it in the description but would purchase if they are.
rpmcobra posted:Are the B & O cabooses smokers ? I didn't see it in the description but would purchase if they are.
They don't smoke.
I think my top choices are the Union Pacific #4141 SD70ACE and the Union Pacific #4141 60' Flag Boxcar. After that I will strongly consider the Youngstown S-2 and Penn Central Flat Spot Freightsounds PS1 Boxcar. I'll have to wait and see but I like the Chessie System l12 Caboose.
If I had more money than I knew what to do with:
US Army Transportation Corps #1945 4-6-6T
Florida East Coast #105 SD70ACE
Penn Central F7 AA Set

Yes All of the engines I am most interested in besides the Cotton Belt F7's (already ordered) are sort of fantasy's.
Frisco 4500 "Meteor" The engine is fairly close and it was an oil burner but that flat top tender just does not look good.
Frisco 4524 was a coal burner
Missouri Pacific 2202 was a coal burner
Rock Island 5100 is kind of a mix between 5000 class (tender - I have pics of 5051 and 5049 with a similar oil tender) but the engine looks more like the 5100 class.
I already suggested to Ryan why not use the tender from the C&O T1 in the last catalog. That would basically fix the Mopac engine easily, Frisco 4524 - although the top of the tender did not have sloped sides and the 4500 would look much more correct. Just take the coal load out and add some plates and call it new tooling on the cheap. 4500 would then be a winner.
They did this sort of with the EM-1's in the catalog (mixing up the tenders) But only me suggesting these things will not get this done - need others to suggest it. I would go for all 4 if they did some simple fixes.
The NS OCS has my attention, and it looks like the new executive cars will be the proper color and slightly different from the previously released cars..will be curious to see if they have the high gloss finish as well. I also really like the Alaska set!
After seeing the catalog the only thing that got my attention was the one or two of the sound cars.
Dave
Nothing. I'm not wasting my money......
I don't plan on ordering anything from the catalog. But to be fair, there is very little that I need to have, so it would have to be a real special item for me to pre-order.
I think the re-release of the I-12 cabeese will be a hit, as the ones from the original release go for a lot more than the original asking price on eBay. I have a B&O one that I like very much!
I was shocked at the price for the 2-pack 18" ATSF heavy weight sets! A two-car set lists for $400!!! Even with the highly discounted pre-order price, the price is $290. I purchased a NOS coach from the original release at this past York for less than $80, and I kick myself for not buying the baggage car as well!
Jim
Probably a B&O I12 cabin car, the 1955 - 1965 version; especially if it is easy to convert to two-rail. I had a brass one (Max Gray, I think) that I traded to a friend for a CLW SD40, now I wish that I had not. I also would like to get the baggage car with Bush's casket displayed but that may only be available in the funeral train set. I pre-ordered the MTH 4141 in two-rail and the MTH baggage car but it is only 72' car, the Lionel one seems to be an 85' car.
I'm ordering the NYC 4-6-6T
Alex
Nothing jumps out at me. Not sure how many big boys and em-1 s we need. But I guess it’s too expensive for something really new to be tooled anymore. I’d really like to see something that has not been done by Lionel before or something really new. Also no operating accessories which I love. But it still has lots of stuff for people that missed them before. So pretty good vol 2 catalog.
Maybe a couple of PFE reefers. Unless something is pretty special to us, we have about what we need.

It will be interesting to see I have all the cars on order. I know the theater car was a little too red, but would be nice if they match. I would also like to see the F units numbered 270,271,275, & 276, regardless I’m still getting them.

The hep equipment on the roof looks wrong too on the ocs, it's supposed to be two mufflers up there, looks nothing like mufflers to me.

After looking at the full catalog this still stands. Nothing I would like to order I can afford, so no preorders for me.
I am looking at the 0-6-0 Pennsylvania tank engine.
the PRR 21" car and a few freight cars.
This is a great catalog with probably the best toy train catalog cover ... ever. I like what Lionel is doing with the product line.
A quick first pass through the catalog and I've found that "I need" (and will order) the Cotton Belt ABBA (beautiful black widow set), the SP S-4, and probably the SP and Santa Fe Disconnect sets. More, later, I suspect. 
Nothing for me as a pre order. I just have too much from Volume 1 on order. I do like the NS Business units but again my $$ went to the first catalog. I like the PRR disconnect passenger cars.
I really like this catalog though. I think they did a great job for a second catalog of the year!
Nothing for me. I like the Boston and Albany 4-4-6T, but I'll pass on this one like I did the K-Line version as there are no passenger cars to go with it. It would be an orphan shelf queen.
The commuter engines are tempting....but I'm not sure.....already have enough engines for commuter traffic....on the Put

I liked the new catalog. I was hoping not to find anything in it because I bought a ton of stuff from the last catalog. But again it was not the case LOL. I still have to place my order but here is what I am getting.
Canadian National tank engine
8 PS-1 soundcars
7 60' box cars
2 Therm ice reefers
Deep Rock and Sinclair tank cars
Manufacturers Railway set
Extra tank car to go with set......................................Paul 2
Sort of the opposite for me. Ordered nothing from Volume 1 so have nada in the delivery pipeline.
Definitely leaning towards one of the LC 2.0 GG1s, possibly an 0-6-0, and an I-12 caboose.

8 PS-1 soundcars
After the fiasco with the first sound cars having repeated banging echo rather than flange squeal I'll have to hear these first. Was track side at an event with 9 trains passing in less than three hours. Sound wise the random flange squeal frequency far surpasses cars with flat spots in the consists. There will need to be a quick TMCC/Legacy way to turn it on and off rather than turning the car over.
Morristown & Erie S2, local line for me
Pennsylvania Vistavision Dome, like the name "Catenary View"
There are items I will purchase but not preorder. We are fortunate that some dealers buy extra units for their inventory.
NYS&W S-2, but I will wait until I have my NYO&W F3's back before I commit. I understand it should be soon...

I hear you! I spend my money on boos, gambling, and women! The rest I just waste.
I think this is a great catalog. If money weren't an object is be ordering a ton from it. That being said, it is so I'll have to limit myself.
I plan on ordering the 4014 excursion version (although first run is cool), the 4141 funeral train set, and probably one odd the additional excursion car 2 packs.
Stuff I like but won't buy due to money includes the Jupiter and 119 plus matching cars, ACL 4-8-4, NS OCS, Alaska RR set, and the Southern dome car.
I’ll order a few of the PS1 boxcars (now that the thumbtacks have been killed), the PolEx caboose, and a soon-to-be-announced special run F7 from one of the dealers. I’m really trying to talk myself out of an ATSF Northern. So far, so good, but it’s early.

I saw a custom run F3 - Central of Georgia on Legacy Stations website (Tempting). Interested in what F7's you are talking about. Wish there was a way to know all the special runs being done so one could decide before jumping. I of course already ordered the Cotton Belt - Waited a long time for these. But some Frisco (Correctly Done) or Missouri Pacific would be great. Or maybe some correctly done L&N (black & Cream).
Just received this e-mail from Trainworld • Trainland
Maybe the next "Lionel Catalog" will have this locomotive, seems like the HO crew always get's new items first.
The Amtrak Charger goes right by my train room, be cool to have this loco on my layout.
Maybe the next catalog: Gary
Anyone planning to order the Bush 4141 without the cars, consider buying the set and I will take the cars. Given the pre order price for the set vs the engine and cars you will save a few bucks if we split the cost. You buying the set means you will have the warranty on the engine. I have no interest in a warranty on the cars. PM me if this interests you.

Any thoughts on the Lionel train table. Price is a little high but it includes delivery and set up. Not sure how they are going to do that. I’d like to get some more details.
I’m with GRJ, I ordered the BETD Porter. The price is right and it gives me a chance to try out LC+ 2.0. It can haul scrape in gondolas from the yard. I wonder if BETD gondolas will be offered. On the other hand, since #15 is now Thomas, maybe Sodor will do 😝
Where is the train table shown, a link maybe?
