Wait 15 days and put your order in to your dealer.
I hope there are N&W Auxiliary Tenders in there.
Yes, I can see the excitement growing, emotions flowing, looking for a mystery train, accessory, rolling stock to be unveiled, similar to the night before Christmas, and the count down is here, 15 long days away, Oh, what a day it will be, to see what Lionel has for Me..(and You)..Wow, what a wonderful hobby it is...Happy Railroading. Great post, thank you....
hear is what i hope to see as far as locomotives go
MK5000C
SD70ACe T4
ET44AC
B40-8
KRAUS MAFFEI ML4000 hood unit
SD50M-3
4-8-0 Mollies
Rio grande L105
BQ23-7
DD40AX
MK1200G
F125
Siemens Charger
MP36PH-3C
DD35B
ALCO C630
ALCO C855
Perhaps already mentioned, but it was mentioned by Megan that there will be two new "starter" sets, off the typical schedule, one Southern Pacific and one the Hot Wheels set with orange Fastrack.
It sems fairly clear that Lionel reps asked those present not to share the catalog contents prior to its release to dealers. Not unreasonable nor a problem since knowing about the contents is not a life or death issue .
Between the Lionel 2017 V2 catalog on August 17 and Bond 25 on November 8, 2019, I AM PUMPED!
oh i forgot one train i would like to see
CP Holiday train
Another Southern Pacific Set? Jeeeez
Would like to see a BNSF Scale Diesel Set with intermodal cars, Southern Pacific Bloody Nose F units, or a Postwar Remake of the Milwaukee Road F3's
"Another Southern Pacific Set? Jeeeez"
I believe this will be a "starter set" not a scale set, but we'll know in 15 days, more or less.
how about some new polar railroad items like the GP7 and SD90mac we had awhile back
Would like:
Alco DH643 - the successful (unlike the Krauss-Maffei) diesel-hydraulic on the SP - nicknamed "alcohaulics", I believe. They could "empty the yard".
Never-done NYC Big Steam - like H-10 Mike, K-5 Pacific, their 2-6-6-2 (yes, they did), 0-8-8-0 hump switcher (yes, they did). This has become my mantra.
GM&O (and other) Baby-Face Baldwins - other than the Centipedes.
All of the above are useless daydreaming, of course. The NYC H-10 and K-5 ideas shouldn't have been this hard to get, but they have been.
It would be great if in the Volume 2 catalog there were O scale 89' flat cars with Auto Racks THAT ARE painted in 1970's and 1980's era Trailer Train schemes with auto rack schemes for the Norfolk and Western, Denver & Rio Grande Western, Missouri Pacific, COTTON BELT SSW, SCL, L&N, SOUTHERN green, Western Pacific, FRISCO, and The Milwaukee Road. I would actually pay for those 1970's railroads on TRAILER TRAIN 89' flat cars. Please get the graphics right by consulting the archives of TTX and freight car builders.

Thank you.
