Picked up the catalog at a local store today, now realize that the 3 dome cars I was wanting are all camera dome cars and $329 each. No thanks!!!! I have no desire to have camera equipped everything. I have 2 camera inspection cars already that I do not use the camera feature. Lionel needs to offer the domes without cameras!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s a full video of the whole catalog: https://youtu.be/JnHlM6syYXI
One of the unique things in the Lionel catalog is the reintroduction of the model power line of buildings and figures under the Lionel name.
I was going to look at the videos online of the new catalog. I even started playing it as far as the first few pages and then turned it off. Maybe I'm weird, but I prefer to wait to get the catalog in my hands. I remember the days when Christmas was nearing and you got the Sears wish book in the mail. There was nothing greater than sitting down and thumbing through that book for hours. While admittedly I don't have much desire for most Lionel products nowadays, there are occasional things that do catch my interest and I will end up purchasing. To me waiting for the catalog to arrive, and when it does, brewing a nice cup of coffee and sitting in the easy chair viewing it brings back that feeling and memories of when I was a kid and the Sears wish book!
Well, I picked up my catalog tonight, talked with Tony a bit while the rain fell(lots of flooding out there on the roads in NJ, I got lucky). Curious thing, they offer two NYC ESE passenger cars, a combine and observation. I didn't see any other cars out there. Anyone have an idea(or are they planning something?)?

I think these are the combine and observation that they offered a few years back with the four car set the did. The four car set shipped long ago but I don’t think these two cars ever did.

I spoke to my dealer on these cars. Lionel had these as a 2-pack in the 2017 catalog. Customers were mad that they had to buy a 2-pack in order to get the observation car. The 4 pack never had the observation car. Lionel is now offering each car as separate sale instead of a 2 pack.

Okay, these went with the E8's. Good news is I don't have to buy them as I didn't get any of those.
OK, what's with the N&W dome car in UP livery? I must have missed the memo on that paint scheme.
A surprising amount of HO in this catalog. I am surprised that Lionel is jumping into HO again as big as they are. Both previous attempts (1950s and 1970s) failed. Maybe the third time is the charm?

Hi Gary... reading the caption, it says "bluetooth is now included".
Its also called out in the standard Legacy features list on pg28.
So it has it...

From utahrails.net :
Dome Coach -- 1 car
Pullman-Standard, 1958
Lightweight
| Car Number | Notes and Disposition |
| WAB 203 | to Norfolk & Western 1613, to Southern 1613, to Quebec North Shore & Labrador |
Wabash 203 was built in November 1958 at the same time as UP 7011-7015, which were themselves the last dome cars built for Union Pacific. Wabash 203, and UP 7011-7015, were initially assigned to City of St. Louis service, with Wabash 203 being in full UP yellow and gray colors, but with its Wabash name spelled out in UP's distinctive red lettering.
Wabash was leased to N&W in 1964, and the car became N&W 1613 in March 1966. The car remained in UP colors, with Norfolk & Western spelled out, until it was repainted to N&W's Blue and Aluminum colors upon the cancellation of the City of St. Louis pool in (?). Sold to Central of Georgia 1613 in 1970, to Southern 1613 in 1971 after Amtrak brought an end to Central of Georgia's passenger service. Car sold during 1979 to Quebec North Shore & Labrador; repainted boxcar brown as QNS&L 13510; repainted in 1993 into a new silver and red scheme.

Well, HO is where brand loyalty isn't as prevalent as it is in O. Given there are already well established product offerings for all interests it will be interesting to see if Lionel can gain a foothold.
It's interesting that according to the catalog description, the HO Berks are being upgraded to "prototypical pilot and front end details and additional boiler details and separate handrails." Guess Lionel figured out that a relettered Polar Express basic Berk isn't going to cut it in the competitive HO world. Wonder if it will also get full valve gear.
Most of the freight cars are descended from old Marx tooling that Model Power owned. The have basic detailing that won't attract the serious HO modeler. The Pennsy style caboose is ex-Model Power and the Harriman passenger cars are ex-Model Power knock-offs of MDC cars.

Ok I have a question about the showing of the up excursion cars. I see that there is a 3 pack and then a 4 pack. Both have the same price tag, but there is one car less I the 3 pack. What’s up? Also, when I looked in the Norfolk and western passenger cars the 4 pack is priced higher than the up 4 pack. Again what’s up? Finally, why did Lionel not show all of the cars in the packs like the Norfolk and western cars? Hope y’all can help.
