i had a dream last night the American flyer portion of the catalog had a huge revival and was so big it needed its own book
but alas it was just a dream
Hoping for a new Union Pacific FEF 844. I have the recent passenger cars on order, can't justify getting a big boy.
lioncheif plus 2.0 CPKC freight set
Heard from a hobby shop - the new catalog on the 12th of July.

That's exciting! It's right around the corner then!
Still waiting for 21" passenger cars to match the Great Northern VistaVision Dome car from a few years ago.
more thomas characters
this is LONG overdue
E8/E9 B units.
lionchief plus 2.0 phantom military freight train
lionchief plus 2.0 GS4
lionchief plus 2.0 S2 turbine
SD90MAC but the ones that look like giant SD70ACe locomotives
This is the pipe dream to end all pipe dreams, but a Transformers train set of some kind. I have no clue how they'd do it, but it would be "ultra gear!" to quote the Transformers character "Cheetor".

how about a lionchief 2.0 optimus prime diesel although i will say the new voice for the legacy es44 sounds kinda like prime.
but man next year is the 40th anniversary of the Transformers lionel needs to do a crossover
i want a bumblebee engine too with his radio voice
Astrotrain berkshire
i could go on forever
How about a ma and pa nw2 set? A bunch of ma and pa cars and an engine all for about $800-900.
according to something i saw on instagram the catalog will be out before the 12th
Sign me up for an Optimus Prime diesel!
plug n play Wolfe Manor complete with hospital wing on the back
a big pipe dream but Wolfe Manor is my favorite haunted location and i would love to have it in o scale comeplete with lights and sounds
I started a youtube channel in march and i just did a video about the new catalog with predictions and wishes, plus a box car that is supposed to be in the catalog. I forgot to mention in the video another prediction, Norfolk Southern heritage units, between 6 and 10.
5 more days until all is answered
I'm still hoping for more subways.
Any advance rumors or cover sightings?
Bring back the LionChief+ 2.0 Berkshires. And if there is a Lionel Lines 726, don't have the grey ashpan color like the previously produced model.
I'm really hoping for the C&O/WM 1309 and/or the Strasburg/N&W 475.
And, it's a long-shot, because I think it'll end up being a January Vision Line announcement at some point, but I'd love to see a Virginian/Erie Triplex since it sounds like Lionel has the tooling now.
I’m hoping for more 19th century locomotives to match the woodsided passenger cars, another batch of PRR E6’s, some more midwestern steam, scale K4’s (streamlined and not), and a 20th anniversary Polar Express Legacy set. All in the same catalog might be a bit much, but one can dream right?
gonna keep saying it until lionel brings it back
more hot wheels stuff perhaps a hotwheels lc2.0 engine or set
With the 6464 boxcar custom runs on the TCA and METCA websites, wondering if there will be some postwar inspired items?

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.
I would also probably be in for one of the geared locomotives (Shay, Heisler, Climax) in an O-36 friendly radius with whistle steam and Legacy control.
None, see "Are Your big bucks buying days over" thread. LOL
Loads of Halloween stuff
i mean a halloween version for every engine and car in the catalog
Total fantasy here, but I’d love a modern diesel loco with an Eddie Van Halen ”frankenstrat” guitar paint scheme. Or at least a box car.
If we’re just “wishing”, I’d be in for an Alco high hood HH660. I’ll take mine in Boston and Maine and Maine Central/Portland Terminal liveries, please.
The wait is over July 12th at 10am eastern time the catalog drops
idk if i will actually order anything right off the bat i may wait awhile Unless lionel releases the lionchief 2.0 GP38 then i will immediately preorder IF i can get said GP38 for under 500 dollars at Trainworld
i need me another GP38 man
A big dome for the 21” Christmas passenger set, A Legacy PRR Q2,
re-release of the legacy Allegheny with WWII & late era details, plus 3 speaker sounds, force coupler, & an extra smoke feature like dynamo, or safety valve smoke. Brass Hybrid Blue Goose, EMD E6’s
Any rumors or cover sightings?
@20centuryhudson posted:Any rumors or cover sightings?
Via a google search, if correct, BTO UP FEF-3, UP Aux Tenders, 18' UP Passenger, PA M1 assortment...
i know its not accurate but how about a lionchief 2.0 New Hope GP38 in a set with 4 matching baby madison cars one being an announcement coach
2 more days
