If this has already been stated somewhere earlier, forgive me.
I would like to see an SD40-2 based on the recently released SD40 chassis.
There are so many railroads that use them, it would be crazy not to offer them.

Different frames. The SD40-2 is 3'1" longer than the SD40.

Thanks Rusty For the info.
None the less, it would be nice to see an updated SD40-2 the the same SD40 qualities. They could produce road names forever with that model.
Semi-scale 2-8-0. Most railroads had em. JohnA
EMD GP20 in PC or Conrail. Fixed pilots or at the very least kinematic pilots.

Southern F-3’s green or black would be good

@BillYo414 posted:I wouldn't mind picking up a tinplate set for the Christmas tree. Especially if it has some kind of command control. That's especially appealing for me as I can sit on the couch and use it. I've been wanting a set for under the tree but struggle to pick one.
A super shiny Polar Express Tinplate set (preferably O gauge) but a basic (Loco, tender, plus 2 or 3 passenger cars) Standard Gauge passenger set would sell well IMHO. Lionel and MTH should have worked out a win/win share the wealth arrangement when they still had their Lionel Corporation Tinplate licensing agreement. Unfortunately there was likely too much stubbornness by both parties.
for the 100th time....scale FL9......
My Wish List:
- Legacy New York Central Dreyfus Hudson
- Legacy Norfolk & Western Y6b or a newly tooled Y6a
- Legacy New You City Subway Sets
- Legacy PRR/LIRR G5s 4-6-0
Fairbanks Morse H20-44....

That could definitely be win-win and it would be something I'm interested in.

good lord lionel has been killing it with all the new tooling recently
first the 90 then the class A and now early challengers. jesus christ i need a million dollars and o 72 curves these catalogs are getting crazy and i'm a little overwhelmed. large steam and obscure road names are my biggest weakness and it is getting harder for me to view these catalogs with out being a little sad that i can't bring stuff like this to the top brass of the Allegheny and Willow Point.

I was wondering what that engine is! I thought maybe Berkshires or a C&O T1 but I think I can see a second piston housing/chamber. Did MTH make early Challengers or is this new Lionel tooling? I have been under the impression that only 3rd Rail did the early Challengers.

As fair as i know, MTH has never made early challengers. The tooling is probably entirely new.
hey @N&WGuy is it okay for me to make a video talking about these for youtube yet embargo wise ?
i don't want lionel to give my channel a strike
What are the differences between early challengers and the challengers that Lionel has produced previously?

We’re there many physical differences between early and late challengers?
Wonder if they will have a Western Maryland challenger in this catalog?
Terrance
I want to see a Lionel Lines Challenger 😉

Yeah, you should be alright. This catalog cover is from a Lionel email to everyone who’s signed up for their news letters so it’s something that they’ve leaked. They won’t bother you about it!
i made this video speculating about the catalog

I hear there will be a bit of green in this catalog ....
@DaveSlie posted:I hear there will be a bit of green in this catalog ....
Pennsylvania Green or Southern Green? Unfortunately neither interests me. I am hoping for more Canadian and New England road names.
@DaveSlie posted:I hear there will be a bit of green in this catalog ....
green as in PRR green or green as in lionel is making the CP hydrogen engine or wabtec battery engine?
This is a joke to entertain so please don't take this seriously:
My wish is for the catalogue to be a blank so I am not enticed to buy something I can ill afford, which I have done on numerous occasions during the past 25 years.
This is a compliment to the major O Gauge manufacturers who make wonderful things I often find irresistible. Arnold

for me that catalog could contain NOTHING i asked for and i will still want something from it because its a book of model trains and i will always find something in that book irresistable even though i may be miles away from affording it. i'm still looking at you Class A and New Hope and Ivyland set.
