Isn't that the tender for the C&O M1?

or the yellowbelly hudson semi scale i hope
Nope, it looks like the C&O streamlined Hudson "orange belly" version as opposed to the yellow belly that Lionel did many years ago.
Ah, I see
The past three or four catalogs had serious missteps in the form of underestimating the demand for several items and producing products that just didn’t sell through.
@N&WGuy posted:Interesting! It’s been a very long time since Lionel did those!
In HO scale, Broadway Limited has recently released their C&O "orange and yellow belly" versions. They are selling for $600.00 at my LHS. A Lionel LC+ 2.0 would be nice but I am assuming Legacy scale with appropriate Budd passenger cars.
1 more day guys
Hmm, well, looks like maybe one thing so far.

guys i just thought of this . what if it is an Allegheny painted in a fantasy yellow belly scheme?
in the background of lionel's recent paul bunyan video i saw the shell of a railking bantam/ rugged rails j class idk know if this means anything but i'm also scared that if we do get a lionchief j it will not make it because of how no one wanted the turbine from the big book . still kinda sad over that getting cancelled
i understand the turbine wasn't postwar tooling but that old tooling is probably 70 plus years old and possibly too old to be modified or used for lionchief plus 2.0

Are you saying that the turbine set was canceled?
@Madockawando posted:Are you saying that the turbine set was canceled?
i assume so because its not on the shipping schedule or listed on any major train site like trainworld or lionelstore.com anymore
plus everyone complained about it not being postwar

Well I guess I am just as guilty as the rest since I didn't order it. The 120th Anniversary Postwar style F3 set from two catalogs ago has been hanging around available at various stores. Not a big seller. I suspect that the market for postwar remakes and/or postwar one offs is very soft right now.

not to mention they were very expensive . the f3 set was a thousand bucks for what is suposed to be "mid range"
also the gg1 freight set from 2019 vol2 was cancelled as well . that was 800

i just hope the leak of that tender pic is a sliver of a semi scale engine
if its scale then its useless for my o-36 operations

I do hope that these don't have the issue of the last Mogul engines. I guess we would have to call for help from the experts if there are issues with these.

Can someone wake me up when they decided to do a brass hybrid 475? (i.e. see everyone in about 10-20 years)
...or if 3rd rail does another run of them?

forgive me for asking but what was the issue last time with the moguls?
@paigetrain posted:forgive me for asking but what was the issue last time with the moguls?
Well, there were a number of topics that started on them, but here was one of the posts that linked onto another.
Basically Cody there were a number of oddball issues that really confounded a few people. One of the ones was the jerking motion of the engine, not sure if that was linked to the drive rods needing a bushing to keep that from happening. It is a long read, but you can see on that post as well as the other one linked in there. I do know that the TMCC version 38088 New York Central #1924 didn't have any of those problems. Mine just needs the 4 chuffs per rev upgrade along with a Super Chuffer and smoke unit as well and it will be a beast.
I do know that some people did complain about both Mogul's having the traction tires on the front set of drivers. While I have not overloaded mine with a ton of rolling stock, I do see how that could be a big issue. No telling what fixes they will have implemented to this next iteration yields, but I guess we will see(if we all order it).
The Traditional O gauge ET44AC locomotives will have to be made in the Canadian National IPO 25 Heritage paint schemes for WC, IC, EJ&E, BC RAIL sometime.

I bought a NIB Legacy Mogul for a hard to resist price and took a chance on the ability to make it right. All I did was add some bushings to the drive rods and it's hopping days were over!
I also tried moving the traction tire equipped wheelset to the rear, but that really didn't help traction, but caused rough running as well as an occasional derailment. I moved them back to the front.
The Grand Trunk Western did have 60' double-door boxcars that were very similar to the O scale 60' double-door boxcars.
I have to find the exact road numbers.

Whoever posted this is cruel, had me thinking we were getting a new yellow-belly C&O Hudson (I very much regret not getting a 3rd Rail version during pre-order period or when they were still selling surplus). But no, it's a fantasy Greenbrier! More power to Lionel's artistic license, but I was definitely let down after this picture got my hopes up! 
They got me, too. Had me wondering if I had jumped the gun and gotten that 3rd Rail Hudson when I might have waited for a Legacy Hudson. So in my case, I breathed a sigh of relief! 3rd Rail's model is spectacular, though. Even if Lionel had put one out, I would have probably kept it.
I’m all in for E7s in Boston and Maine, Maine Central, and Bangor and Aroostook liveries. Matching 18” passenger cars would be nice, too!
There is an O gauge Santa Fe auto rack on a TRAILER TRAIN flat car in the 2022 VOLUME 2 catalog.
They must produce a full O scale Santa Fe auto rack on a TRAILER TRAIN 89' flat car in 2023.

How about a bunch of dockside switchers, various road names, in the old MTH a style 0-4-0 with either LionChief 2.0 or in TMCC.

How about lower prices. 
How about a Legacy brass hybrid Strasburg Railroad/Norfolk & Western #475 and #382? I know it more than likely won’t be for awhile, but a guy can dream haha! 😁
What needs to be in the next two catalogs are multiple road numbers for C&O 60' boxcars.
C&O Pullman-Standard single-door 60' boxcars
C&O Chessie System Pullman-Standard single-door 60' boxcars

Except Lionel doesn't have an existing 4-8-0 chassis and mechanism to use.

They didn’t have one for 90 either 🤷♂️

But Mth does, and since Lionel has been buying up some of the Mth tooling for new model offerings.....

Lionel’s 90 was built from the ground up with new tooling. The Russian decapod mth had is not the same as 90 and wouldn’t work as a true scale 90.
