4.  O&W NW2 (visited the O&W museum in Roscoe, NY.  I'd like to see more O&W locos and rolling stock including a Mountaineer set.)

 

Wouldn't we all, although I'm on the fence about this one, because I already have the Railking O&W NW-2 (and it's also number116 ). However the Railking version doesn't have smoke(but, it also has two motors) so i still might order it, I just wish it had a different road number.

I got mine last Saturday. I'm still looking.

New York Central green freight cars.

A lot of nice things in the catalog but I will save my money. Nothing in this catalog is screaming at this NYC fan. Maybe one of these catalogs will have the unstreamlined Vision or Legacy NYC J3a Hudson. This is actually good, because if they ever do it, I will want more than one!

If this hobby has taught me anything it's patience! 

 

 

 

I'm with Skip on the NYC J3a Hudson!

Space is at a premium on my layout (isn't that always the way?) so I noticed that the company row houses which are really cool are listed with no dimensions!  Does anyone have a reference for these?  Are they the old Weaver houses?

Potrzbe, Yes, you are correct, it takes a lot of space to run big Diesels....Big Steamers, etc. Store big engines, lots less Houses, roads, buildings, Accessories, Bridges, a Scenic Details...Row houses are neat, but will eat up Real Estate...What we need to have available is, Layout Stretchers???? Happy Railroading...

I'm really liking those little logging cars, would look good behind my K-Line Porters.

Ideal behind a Porter loco.

The command gantry crane on page 122. Hope they get enough orders to make it. Should make a nice replacement for the old tethered version. Hope the tracks are the same width apart.

Would say yes as Lionel purchased the USA built Weaver freight cars.

I see that Lionel is also adding 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor rolling stock with a "look for more WWII stuff in future catalogs" teaser.  That's for me, as my fondness for the materiel of WWII is known here.  Still working on the tank haulers (i.e. the M4 Sherman tank, not petroleum).

I was going to say I was buying the additional 4 AFT cars (two 2-packs) listed in this catalog.

I was really happy to see in V1 that Lionel was going to produce the AFT cars, but was disappointed because it seemed the display cars (ex-NYC 9100 series baggage cars) were listed as 21" (85 feet) when they should have been 17.5" (70 feet).  Lionel eventually stated the catalog was confusing and the display cars would be the correct 70' length, so I pre-ordered all the V1 cars.

Well, looking at the AFT cars in V2 it clearly states the AFT display cars will be 21" long.  I was going to buy the Lionel cars and sell my K-Line set but not now.  Need to cancel my pre-order.
