New Lionel catalog, what will you order?

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.

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.

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...
