S scale offerings in the new Lionel 2019 Volume 2 catalog...

If they are Legacy Berks, Will the C&O have the lower headlight? It seems the number is a PM Berk, that was absorbed into the C&O, which never got the headlight moved.

Then I'll be trying my hand again at a Legacy Berk. I sure hope they get built this time.

Well, they are the same numbers as the cancelled Berks.........A copy of the catalog would state Legacy control.

Any SD70ACe's or ES44AC's in the new catalog?

Mark,

I've asked the question on the catalog thread.

Well I hope I'm not stepping on any Lionel toes here but this image is from the 2018 Big Book catalog where they originally offered the Legacy Berkshires which were then cancelled:

So if Lionel is going to re-offer these engines at a new $100.00 higher price I'd bet they haven't changed anything from what the proposed 2018 offerings were. Is the headlight on the engine shown what you want?

No, I was hoping they'd do the lower headlight version they did CAD drawing for

Just picked up a copy from Mario's Trains. The Berkshires are listed as Legacy. Yay! Same description as the previous catalog.

The diesels are listed as U36C's, also a Seaboard version.

EP5's as listed, look nice. The NYC scheme fits well.

GN heavyweights, 8 of them all sold separately, $89.99 list.

NH heavyweights, the same.

New 40ft boxcars - State of Maine, TP&W, Nashville & Chattanooga, Frisco, Vesuvius Crucible, Buffalo Creek, GN teal, Lancaster & Chester, Green Bay & Western, Rutland.

New 3 bay hoppers - B&O, Chessie, UP, Western Maryland.

New Milk flats - 4 bordens, white load W/black letters, Red letters, orange load W/gold letters, khaki load W/ gold letters. Florida juice, Sealtest, Renkens, Polar Express.

Please tell me that’s not how it’s spelled in the catalog.  

I am pretty impressed with this catalog over all for both O and S gauge...

Some enlightenment...

So at worst you will be able to see these new offerings in about 2 weeks or so.

Mark,

NOTINWI just posted all of the S scale pages.  But if you're in STL in the next two weeks, Schaefer's Hobby Shop (on Gravois near 270) has the catalogs out already.  I picked up a copy today.

Mike,

To be honest, I don’t know if what I posted is ALL the S gauge pages or not.  I had to go through a lot to get them, but that’s a different story.

I am happy to see the EP5 show up. I’m not in for any of the livery’s cataloged, but I really hope Lionel does the EP5 in polar express colors to look similar to the O gauge Bi-polar express.  I think it looks really sharp.

You posted it all.  I'm looking at it now: pages 106-117.  

Do the EP-5's have twin motors, or single motor?

Excellent.

I am pumped that we may get two new Legacy locos manufactured if both the Berks and the U36c's get enough orders. I'll do my part and get one of each as soon as Charles Ro starts taking orders.

I'll be building a GN set for sure.

So the question remains, will the Legacy Berks be produced as described by Dave Olson in this thread
