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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Notch 6 podcast Ryan knuckle says they will probably rerun theater car, cause new ocs cars will be darker and not match.

Just listened to the podcast answered both my questions. Only thing I wonder now is will the Norfolk Southern cars that are in the 2019 catalog with 611 be the darker shade of red. One would think.

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.

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. 

After looking at the full catalog this still stands. Nothing I would like to order I can afford, so no preorders for me. 

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.
