Wish list for the next Lionel catalog

falconservicefalconserviceOGR Forum Member

Every single variation of Pullman-Standard 50' box cars built between 1970-1980

Made out of aluminum or stainless steel that is 3D printed.

Made out of stainless steel sheets that are realistically thin that are stamped and welded together.

Box cars with distinct Pullman-Standard style doors are noticeably absent in 1:64th, 1:48th, 1:32nd scales.

MTH owns that market now. Atlas stated they no longer making those expensive models or parts to support them. We can only hope for new box car models never offer before like 40 & 50' combination door cars. Nothing else to add for the collection going forward. I have everything.

Here's my updated list of things I want to see in the next catalog or future catalogs. It's a pretty long list.

-4 Digit Addressing in all new Legacy locos

-Modern freight cars with freight sounds

-GP60, GP60M, and GP60B (Did Lionel acquire the MTH tooling for these?)

-Bring back more former K-Line tooling, especially their SD75M/SD75I with Legacy and Pacific Surfliner Passenger Cars with Stationsounds

-Legacy ET44AC; BNSF ET44C4 with correct truck details

-Legacy SD70ACe-T4

-Legacy F45/FP45 (Did Lionel acquire the tooling from MTH for these too?)

-Updated LCS system for use with Base 3; updated LCS App too

-Legacy SD45-2 Locomotive (don't know if anyone makes these in O-Scale)

-Legacy Siemens Chargers w/ matching passenger cars

-New Amtrak Superliners, ATSF El Capitan, and ATSF Super Chief passenger trains

-O84 and O96 Fastrack Remote/Command Switches

-Fastrack Turntable with Command-Control

-Command-Control Scale Intermodal Crane

-Legacy Crane Car/Boom Car Sets

-Updated Accessory Voltage Controller (AVC) for LCS

-Legacy or LC+2.0 Phantom Locomotives, matching passenger car sets, and matching freight car sets (multiple versions)

-Double Track Fastrack Truss Bridge

-Fastrack Bascule Bridge (Single and Double Track versions)

Southern Pacific Legacy Scale Fairbanks Morse H-24-66 Train Master Diesel in the classic bloody nose red on grey. It looks like Lionel produced these at one time, but I can't find any used or new.

I remember them pulling the San Francisco Peninsula commuter trains when I was a teenager (late 60's early 70's). Boxy looking locomotive but a piece of interesting history. They were terrible things to service!!

It has been 7 months since I posted this, but my "wish list" has not changed:

"At this stage in my life there are no items I "need", and very few I want since nearly everything is a reissue.  I guess maybe:

- Burlington Northern SD40-2 in Bicentennial colors and cab #1876.  I can run this with my Lionel Legacy BN U30 #1776 just like the real American Freedom Train did, pulling my AFT consist.

- Additional Friendship Train boxcars, but only if they fix the trucks.  However, there are plenty of photos on the web of cars with placards that were on the FT, and many would be easy to duplicate.

- Typing the above reminded me I would like to see replacement trucks for those terrible ones that came with the FT cars and some others.  (I'd use different words but I don't want this deleted).

Who knows, they may come up with something new that I may want, like the horse car they just did."

The remainder of the American Freedom cars...

That use to be on my wish list, but I don't think it will ever happen.  Didn't want to waste a wish.

I do think a 2-pack of car #200 (Power/bunk car) and one of the storage cars (33 or 34) is doable since they have the molds.  Or maybe a 3-pack with both storage cars.

They could also use their current production longest flatcar and HW baggage car for the 3 flatcars and tool car. They would be short but acceptable.  The wagons for the flatcars would need to be made.

The issue is making the most important cars; the two Showcase Cars.  I think a lot of folks would be happy if they just did these two.  Problem is they will need new tooling and would only be useful for this application, an expensive endeavor (maybe scale mint/aquarium car?).

Anyway, I hope YOUR wish comes true.

Once again I’m going to ask that Lionel will pick up Lima’s scale length British Railways Mk-1 coaches and issue them in BR colors (although I won’t hold my breath).

i would like to see Lionel Legacy New Haven PA-1s in the new Haven’s factory-delivered orange with silver stripes and green roof or the New Haven’s Hunter Green and yellow stripes paint.

I would also be interested in seeing Lionel’s Hall class 4-6-0 in British Railways green and black with coaches either in cream and brown or maroon with gold striping. Many of us still like Harry Potter but having a 4-6-0 or coaches in standard BR colors won’t tread on Wizarding World’s copyrights. Selling a BR  painted Hall class might also appeal to those with Harry Potter sets whose original HP ten-wheelers have gone toes-up as replacement engines.

I suspect that Lionel fans with tight curves might like to see a streamlined corrugated-side Railway Post Office car for their pre-Amtrak passenger trains.

I also wonder how Milwaukee Road fans would react to seeing Lionel’s post-war “Virginian” rectifier electrics in the Milwaukee Road’s orange and black freight scheme. Enough to pull out their charge cards?

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).

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.

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.

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

this would be extremely helpful to me since i run a freelance railroad

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 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...

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

more Strasburg in the traditional line

its unfair the scale guys get all the SRC and us traditional guys get just a starter set and a few cars and BEDT 15

i hope lionel got the railking 2-6-0 tooling for a lionchief 89 and maybe use their 2-8-0 tooling for 475

i know its not accurate but its better than nothing this would also make my friend in Pennsylvania very happy as he is also a traditional guy trying to get more Strasburg as well

Realistic things I'd be interested in: (1) more subways; (2) more 19th century locomotives, especially Legacy with sound in the cars.

I-would-buy-it-but-I-doubt-Lionel-will-build-it:

(1) great British locomotives like the Flying Scotsman (which ran on American rails and which could be easily offered in several subtle variations--this year is the 100th birthday!)

(2) something in narrow gauge, taking advantage of the S or HO tracks (Durango & Silverton in Legacy with whistle steam would be amazing)

(3) Swiss locomotives like the Crocodile

(4) Orient Express.

And ALCO S2 in:

  • Archer Daniels Midland
  • Canadian Pacific
  • SIRT
  • Lehigh & New England
  • NASA
  • US Army


The 2-6-6-2 appears it will be in:

  • Western Maryland
  • NKP
  • Denver & Rio Grande
  • Northern Pacific
  • Norfolk & Western
  • Weyerhaeuser


This is all from the Lionel Support site, based off items with SKUs 24#####.  There doesn't appear to be a way to search for that criteria, but you can search road name or wheel arrangement or designation (ie SD70ACE), and then sort by SKU, then find those beginning with 24.

Just M1, there’s a pinstriped version, a 1941 with a short tender, a 1955 with post war pilot & details. And several other flavors. But none of the are labeled M1a or M1b

Thanks so much.  I'm assuming the '55 version was the longer coast to coast tender and the headlight was on top of the boiler?  If you don't remember, no worries; Wednesday will be here very soon.

Looks like we're getting some cool new stuff, including some new diesels. If we're getting a new Legacy UP GP30, I'm hoping for #844 that is in the Nevada Southern RR Museum in Boulder City, Nevada (near Vegas where I live). I really want that engine! By the way, I actually got to drive the GP30 #844 at the museum. That was cool. Maybe the museum could work with Lionel to do a custom run of GP30 #844 with an accurate paint scheme (like the Scaletrains HO version) and also sell a scale museum passenger train consist, the generator boxcar with generator sounds, and a caboose (Vision one with sounds, maybe? Don't know if it will happen). When is the new catalog comming?!

In 1971 the Steven Spielberg movie DUEL was made.

One of the scenes in DUEL was at a Southern Pacific railroad grade crossing featuring a current day freight train.

The people at LIONEL could have every single locomotive and freight car that is seen in the movie DUEL produced all within the same year.

They would need a high-definition copy of the 1971 movie DUEL to see every single detail.

Lionel added "TORPEDOES" (roof mounted auxiliary air reservoirs) to their GP9s in the 2018 catalog.  They offered B&O (psgr), CNW, MILW, NKP, TH&B and WAB.  Methinks it's time to bring back this model, adding more of the roads and paint schemes offered by the prototype roads that used them.  At minimum, there are the B&O in spartan blue, BN, CP, PRR, Soo Line in three color schemes, and the one I'd most like to have: Illinois Central.

The IC used their passenger geared and steam equipped Geeps to haul their less prestigious trains such as my favorite, the Hawkeye, plus the Land-O-Corn, Governors Special, etc.

My Hawkeye has had to make do with a MTH Rail King GP9, for which I used a .22 brass casing for a steam generator stack, this in remembrance of all the times GunRunnerJohn has rescued me from imminent disaster.  The .22 brass is just the right size and the rim glued on the inside of the carbody keeps it upright, stable and sturdy.  Atlas has also offered an IC GP9 but it doesn't even have a boss for a steam generator and the engine numbers are all wrong.

C'mon, Lionel, I've been waiting patiently...

I'm really close to having everything I could possibly want in trains which is really weird feeling!

There are a few items out of existing tooling that would still interest me.

I'd like to see the HEP car in Amtrak Phase I paint, but with an option to purchase it without the sounds.  I just like the car even it if isn't totally prototypical to the actual Amtrak cars.  The Amtrak ones are actually only 60' cars rebuilt from St. Louis Car Company Army Kitchen cars.  I could call it close enough though. 

Some additional numbers for Phase III Heritage coaches would be nice too.  I found the smooth sided one loosely based on the Saint Louis Car Company prototype to be nicely done and nice change from the typical Budd built cars.  The 4 car set, plus the 2 car add-on set came with two coaches total, and typically most Amtrak Heritage equipped trains ran with four or more coaches.  I have scale Amfleet cars to use, but a complete Heritage fleet train would be awesome.

I'd also possibly be interested in the Reading 72' commuter cars painted in CNJ.  CNJ operated this car if not a very similar one with the low sloped roof and I like the fact that Lionel has made accommodations to swap the wheels out to two rail and add Kadee couplers.

As for new tooling?  I doubt Lionel used a slide tool for the 21" cars which would make this easy, but using the baggage-coach tool and shrinking the windows to squares, a proper baggage-dorm car in any number of roads would be very welcome.  I'd like to see one in PC and Amtrak Phase I & III personally, but they could put any paint scheme on it and I think it could do well. 

The challenge I see is that Lionel prefers to do sets over individual cars unless they command the price point of something like a station sounds diner or dome.  I'm mostly past wanting passenger car sets having more than my fair share.  Maybe a two-car set with a coach and a dorm car would be something Lionel would consider.

I don't have any interest in new locomotives at the moment and I have enough freight cars to fill several yards.

Well, since this is a wish list…

Siemens Chargers (so many possibilities there)

ET44ACs

The C&O Hudson from the B&O Museum with added smoke affects. This may not be so much of a wish, but a when.

Sone SD60s based off the new tooling from the recently catalogued SD50s.

Continuation of the NS heritage ES44s.

Oh, and one last loco I would love to see would be the GE ES44AC 2010 GEVO with the charging lights. I know it would be in plastic, but would be great to see run again. Add the GE Test car with it.

Oh, those should all be scale with Legacy and Bluetooth.

Some great ideas, Carl.

Ditto on the Siemens Chargers (especially an Amtrak ALC-42 Phase 7 unit w/ matching Superliner passenger cars), ET44ACs (also the BNSF ET44C4s with correct truck sideframe details), SD60s (Lionel said these will probably happen sometime), and the GE #2010 Hybrid/GE test car.

Lionel will most likely release more NS heritage units. Also, the Chargers need matching passenger cars.

My wishlist (not in any specific order):

-CSX Heritage ES44AH units

-BNSF/FEC ES44C4s with correct truck details

-EMD/Progress Rail SD70ACe-T4

-SD45-2 (especially the ATSF blue/yellow Warbonnet, Bicentennial ATSF, BNSF SD40-2R with 16-cylinder 645 prime mover sounds, and BNSF SD32ECO rebuilds with 12-cylinder 710 prime mover sounds)

-GP60/GP60M(-3)/GP60B

-GP38-2

-GP39-2

-GP40-2

-GP50

-SD7/SD9

-Polar Express Berkshire and matching passenger cars

-Pere Marquette and NKP Berkshires

-ATSF #3751

-SD75M/SD75I (especially ATSF SD75M and ATSF/BNSF SD75I units)

-Rebuilt power with correct cabs and radiators (for example: CSX ET23DCMs, CSX "Spongebob Cab" SD40-3s, GP40-3s, and GP38-3s, NS Admiral Cab SD40-2s, SD33ECOs, GP33ECOs, GP59Es/ECOs)

-ATSF or BNSF SD40-2s (maybe a UP SD40N rebuild, too)

-UP SD59MX rebuild

-BNSF GP39-3 rebuilds (also BN GP39E/M/V GP30 and GP35 rebuilds with correct body details)

-UP SD70Ms (multiple radiator and cab versions)

-Vision Ethanol Tank Cars

-Fastrack Turntable w/ Command-Control

-Legacy Crane Car/Boom Car Sets

-Command-Control Intermodal Cranes and Gantry Cranes with sounds

-New GE U-Boats (U28CG, U36C, U25B, U25C, U30C)

-3-Unit UP "Big Blow" Gas Turbines

-SD90MAC-H with correct body and cab details

-Correct cabs on new SD70ACU and SD70ACC rebuilds

-Phantom locomotives with matching passenger and freight car sets (new liveries and features for these)

-An engine I've really wanted for a long time: UP GP30 #844 with Legacy!

Hey @Dylan the Train Man, for a moment there I was going to quote your entire list as there is so much there that needs To be made.

The Berkshires seem to be a go as so many have talked about them being in this catalog.

Lionel needs some good GPs - especially the 38-2s and 40-2s.

i would pick up some BNSF GP60s. U30C and C30-7s would be a must for me.

You have some good generation 3 and 4 motive power there I would Love to see.

Norfolk Southern OCS set

N&W J class 611

We have no idea what Lionel, MTH, or Atlas will choose to make or invest in. It’s one of the reasons lists like these wake up before catalog drops and excite the forum. The masses don’t know what is in the catalog, so we hope and dream. It’s like Christmas twice a year.

Maybe we get something new. Maybe we don’t. Regardless, it’s a figurative candy store we will get to enter next Friday and see what sweet offerings will be offered.

I’ve restricted myself to buying locomotives and rolling stock from the early steam to diesel era to keep myself from buying everything in sight.  I’m still hoping that Lionel will release a PA-1 in one of the New Haven Railroad’s pre-McGinnis paint schemes.  Not all of us are enraptured with DCS.

I also have a certain fondness for the “Harry Potter” 4-6-0.  It would be nice to get one in one of post-nationalization British Railways’ green-with-black smokebox paint schemes, but I’m not going to hold my breath.  Perhaps as aBuild to Order?

Speaking of 4-6-0s, I wonder how well a Denver and Salt Lake legacy 4-6-0 would sell.  Build to Order, maybe?

i’m also game for an 18 inch heavyweight passenger car, but I think it’s unlikely, even in Polar Express colors

Also, if Lionel re-releases their round-roof boxcars, it would be nice of them to get the PRR colors RIGHT and with different numbers.

I personally will always wish for some more Western Maryland and B&O. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a PRR specific locomotive in the catalog, since they've done it for the past 3, and if there is one I hope its a T1. A new legacy T1 will always be on my wish list. A reissue of the GG1 would also be nice. From what I have seen so far from leaks, the first catalog of the year is shaping to be pretty nice.

A new legacy T1 will always be on my wish list. A reissue of the GG1 would also be nice. From what I have seen so far from leaks, the first catalog of the year is shaping to be pretty nice.

leaks already ? good lord

even though i'm not allowed to buy halloween stuff i hope there's a whole train load of haunted goodies that i can just admire from a distance

depending on my next doctor visit in april this may be my last catalog ever so it better be EPIC
