any lionchief plus 2.0 would make me happy
any legacy sets would also be stellar
Back in 1990, Lionel made a scale ATSF B40-8 Standard Cab locomotive in blue/yellow paint with conventional control in a set. I would like to see a Legacy version of the engine made. Also, Lionel could make a modernized version of the freight set with a second ATSF B40-8. The engines would look good with my Wide-Cab Santa Fe B40-8W. Other liveries could include a BNSF patched blue/yellow version, a Conrail version, a New York, Susquehanna, and Western version, a St. Louis-Southwestern (SSW) version, and a UP version, along with a GE Prototype version. There was also a single US Dept. of Energy B40-8 that was used at the Savannah River Site nuclear facility, so maybe that version could be made as well (and perhaps a set of US Dept. of Energy freight cars to go with the US DOE loco).
is there a 3 rail market for european trains?
i know mth killed theirs
I see that Lionel has updated their shipping schedule after quite some time. Oddly enough, the items I ordered back in feb 2022 are not on that list. Charles Ro still says 'back order' on them, so I really don't know when they are expected.

@paigetrain....
Did you look at ACE Trains? They offer 3 rail Europoean style trains. They can be found at https://www.acetrainslondon.com/
Hope this helps.

Yeah, that would be great!!!!
Since the 2023 Vol. 1 killed my wallet, my wish for the next catalog is that it doesn’t come out till next year some time 
For many years, each time a new MTH catalog was released, I would cross my fingers and hope there would be a TGV set. It never happened.
Lionel has never offered any modern European train items. I think the TGV would be an awesome first European offering.
I'll probably be crossing my fingers with every new Lionel catalog until my demise. 
rerun R27 subway set
How about a good old fashioned AT&SF caboose, 1940' to mid-50's vintage, in O scale, to go behind the same vintage steam and diesel front ends?
An N&W caboose to go with the class A would be nice too

i've heard that the next vision line engine is going to be completely new tooling of something never done in 3 rail o scale
Water tenders for the big boy.
I'm still hoping for modern versions of the high-rail track inspection vehicles with TMCC. Lionel did vintage 1940s-50s era versions a few years back, but my new layout is set in the present day.
More stuff for the B&LE, P&LE, P&WV, as well as the MGA would be perfect. Also hoping for a rerun of the PRR M-1a, the H-10, or the K4.
Still hoping for James Bond cars. I just noticed there is so much more in the catalog online!! What the what!
Philadelphia & Reading 4-wheel Bobber Caboose.
For each passenger car paint scheme, make a car for every body style. Example: for the small green cars with yellow lettering, add a full baggage car, dome car, full dome car, and diner.
Make a Madison style combine, RPO, coach, and diner. One of the cars should be named "Wolf", after Mike Wolf.
"One of the cars should be named "Wolf", after Mike Wolf."
Great sense of humor...How about one named after Mike Wolf's attorney? 
undecorated locomotives that we can paint /letter ourselves
this would be extremely helpful to me since i run a freelance railroad
"undecorated locomotives that we can paint /letter ourselves"
Just FYI, these are rarely available in any scale these days. Little or no sales, as it turns out. Even HO manufacturers have stopped making them, mostly. My source for this comment is Jason Shron the founder and president of Rapido, one of the most successful of the newer vendors in HO and N.

ouch
i guess i'll just have to live without an official paintscheme and just do patch jobs
i don't like painting over a good paint scheme. i just feel wrong about it no matter the scheme

They need to 3D print a wide variety of Traditional O gauge and True S scale locomotives and cars in the USA and Canada on both the East Coast and West Coast. The 3D printed railroad models can be raw, unpainted or painted and lettered through some process.

i agree
3d printing would make the lionchief line EXPLODE with great stuff
I would like to see some GE U boats with the latest version of legacy. In addition, the California Zephyr made into 21” passenger cars.
@Racetrack Route Joe posted:In addition, the California Zephyr made into 21” passenger cars.
If you're patient, I'd try to get the Atlas O cars. They're much more accurate than what Lionel would be able to do with their tooling.
I got one; it's a reach but how about a Legacy Phantom set? I have all of them EXCEPT for the Batman RTR set (not interested). It was a "controversial" train then and would be quite the set with the tech of today.
Also, I'd hope that Lionel will do a version of the Avelia Liberty (new Acela) since no other "0" scale manufacturer has done a TRUE bullet train i.e TGV, Shinkansen, Eurostar, etc. unless someone knows something I don't...
Something other than a switcher with fixed pilots. Won’t happen tho.

You're absolutely right, Will. I got into the hobby after the Atlas ones had been released, and were exorbitant then and still are as secondhand items, let alone are rarer than hens' teeth. While this isn't an Atlas or an MTH thread, Lionel's 21" Passenger cars are former K-Line tooling, and made of aluminum and not plastic like Atlas. Lionel's California Zephyr cars, however, done thus far (last ones being the 18" cars) are arguably not as detailed as the Atlas cars, but the 21" cars, that they have not *yet* ran in CZ, ones are still solid cars IMO. With the Station Sounds Diners, those are what does it for me. I would like to see their version of it though, not to mention, K-Line had a PRR thru-way sleeper done up in 21" Stainless Steel CZ livery just as the CB&Q, D&RGW, and WP. No, that sleeper wasn't quite accurate to the prototype but this is O-Scale. IF these can be re-released, it will give Atlas a run for their money assuming they do in fact re-release their CZ. This is also wishful thinking on my part, but if Lionel can make the CZ "all new tooling" just like they are doing for the 20th Century Limited from 2023 Volume I, let's just say that competition is great for the consumer, their wallet on the other hand, not so much.
halloween track inspection car that looks like a hearse
i really want vol2 of this year to be alot like 2019 vol 2 with much more traditional o gauge items as
traditional stuff is the only stuff i will probably ever buy because the high end stuff the more i look at it the more it looks intimidating and overwhelming in price size and delicacy
lionchief plus 2.0 is the right balance for me with big features but rugged play like the postwar days and i hope the lionchief line never disappears
Would like to see more steel mill related stuff. Like, the ingot buggy train, which I believe was shown in the last K-LIONEL catalog. It was never made. Perhaps a version of the "disconnect" cars could serve as an ingot buggy.

The Lionel cars are not K Line tooling as those cars were made of aluminum. The Lionel cars would look a lot better if they had done the proper round windows on the dome cars instead of the flat windows. I see no reason for Lionel to do new tooling for a set that has already been done to near perfection. It's just time for Atlas to run theirs again...

Any freight specific cars. I would like steel mill related because I model a steel mill but I think more diversity in freight cars is an unexplored avenue for Lionel. Atlas really does a great job with their modern stuff. MTH did a great job too.
@Tyler.J posted:More stuff for the .... PRR ....H-10....
A true H10 from Lionel would be great. Their current H10 is really its old molds of an H9 where they just called it an H10 to sell more of the model. As an H9, the engine is descent but with some noticeable errors. Lionel needs to get rid of the slotted passenger pilot and put on the much more common and accurate freight footboard pilot.
