Ordering from Lionel 2007
Posted by Lionelking313 on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 7:36 PM

For me it will be the rest of the PWC sets, the WP and UP Sd70;s heritage, and Since it would be my first ever KLINE Purchase, (Lionel only kind of guy)  I will probably go for the entire circus train. The last time Kline made them, they made those awesome old Madison cars and Aluminum cars decorated for the circus. I need a circus train, so this should be a good thing,

 How about the rest of you?

UP yellow Milwaukee Road Bi Polar. I guess I will have to pretend it doesn't have rubber band wheels.

Santa Fe F3 with smoke and El Capitan Diner top my list!

K-Line's Hudson is also a hottie.

NYC GP7.   I am looking forward to seeing how the Legacy system stacks up with DCS.  Plus, the detail on the unit looks fantastic.

Regards,

I am thinking of ordering:

 

1   AT&SF E6 4-4-2 Atlantic

2     Legacey system

 

That should put a big dent in my 2007 train funds.

Well since I basically only get one good shot per year, I'm holding out till the next catalog comes out with the Hogwarts train.

Hmm,

I wish Lionel would make a Hogwarts Express. But they probably won't. If they do then they'll probably use a Scarlet 4-4-2 Atlantic and Streamlined Passenger Cars. Ha. Lets see how well that sells.

I would love a Lionel Hogwarts like the one in the movie, but the chances are slim. Shame isn't it.

I saw several things. I was impressed with the K-Line offerings. No big deal scale stuff like the K4 and ATSF Coffin Heater Berkshire as I call it, but there is some nice stuff.

Lionel

Southern 2718 Berkshire, Maybe and 0-4-0 or Mikado (More Likely an 0-4-0), Some Freight Cars and maybe the NYC Freight Expansion Pack.

K-line by Lionel

Southern 2-8-2, Southern 4 car freight set, Southern States Boxcar Set, some other freight cars

In the new CTT I got in the mail today I saw in the Product Anoucments as Basset Lowke 4-4-0 for $390. Its a beuty. I might shell out for that around Christmas time if I can. The green LNER is great. But it is also being offered in LMS Maroon. I'll go for the LMS.

I still have to get 4-car Williams Santa Fe Luxury Lines Set, and maybe the 2 car add on pack. I even comtemplated buying an MTH Royal Hudson or even a MTH C&O Streamlined Hudson before Justrains runs out. I'll proably suprise myself with that for my Birthday if I have enough by then. If not then the passenger cars.

I need a better job. Bi Lo is looking pretty good right now.

The WHOLE CATALOG!!!!!Wink [;)] Just kidding. I really like jaabat's choice of the Santa Fe F3, especially since it is that good of a price for a scale sized, highly detailed engine. I like John O's choice of the NYC GP7, but my favorite would have to be the NYC Sharknose Diesels. I love the look of them. Also, the CSX SD40-2 Intermodal set is a beauty. Once I get my job, I can get the stuff I want.

tmcc man:  I see from your post you are a PRR man.  I am a PRR steam era modeler.  I was hoping for a PRR O scale decapod in this catalog, but I figure that I will have to wait for a long while.  Perhaps in the next offering. 

I was somewhat interested in the k-line offset 2 bay hoppers but they are diecast and I do not want to pull 6 of those with other cars because of the weight.  I have looked at the RMT cars but I don't know if they are 027 or o scale.  For now, I will wait, but that ABA set of Santa Fe F7s is sweet.

Mickey, I am a huge fan of the PRR. Some people don't understand how I know so much about it, being a teenager. It surprises them often.

I'd like to see Lionel produce the Hogwart's Express. I think it would be popular here and also overseas if Lionel chose to market and sell it there.

Colin, the F3 is very nicely detailed, and for that price? No brainer, even though I already have a Santa Fe F3 AA set (Williams) and a Lionel Santa Fe FT. I guess I'm a warbonnet man. And I'm hoping to win those post war beauties from CTT.

I'd really, really  like one of the K-Line conventional controlled semi-scale Hudsons (page 6), but a $399? That's pretty steep for a conventional locomotive!

Just checked out the new Lionel/K-Line catalog online and not needing any locomotive power right now I am going to order K-Line's Super Streets track for my hand cars to run on and possibly a trolly.

I just watched the videos of the Williams Girl's Trains and the NASCAR set. I think the NASCAR loco sounds pretty good (horn, bell, engine revs).

Howdy, All!

Just got back from working in Corpus Christi, man, I miss that Gulf Coast "winter".  Jaabat, hear its been cold up your way!

I didn't have a computer on the road so haven't gotten much of a chance to look through the new catalogs yet, but did see a Northern Pacific ore car in the traditional freight. That is a definate must have.  I wish Lionel would sell them in multiple unit sets, it seems their 0-27 offerings are pretty thin compared to their O gauge line.
