From what I understood KCC members who ordered the SD70M would get a freebie catolog this time but will charge for following catalogs unless you join the Lionel club.

Got mine today.   It was a surprise. wasn't expecting it.   Too bad Lionel didn't send their catalog with it.

We received them at the store last week in the same shipment as the Lionel cats.

I received one from Charlie Ro last week, along with a couple of items I had ordered.  It's a bigger catalog than I had expected, and contains some nice items that should delight just about any K-Line fan.  None of the really high-end items, of course, but I wasn't expecting to see them since Lionel would most likely reserve most of the high-end offerings for their own brand.  Can't fault them for that.

I received one in the mail also.  I wasn't a KCC member but had signed up for K-Line catalog mailings a while ago.  Lionel just went through the K-Line database and sent catalogs to everyone they had an address for this one time.  There was a letter with the catalog stating that in the future only Lionel Collector Club members would receive the catalogs in the mail.

I like the B&O passenger cars a lot.  If I had a traditional size B&O engine I probably would get them.  These cars are a step up (in my opinion) from the recent PRR set from Lionel.  The PRR cars are nice, but these are better.

I picked one up at a LHS yesterday along with the Lionel catalog.  Some nice things in both.  I was also surprized by the size of the K-line catalog.  Some nice stuff for the conventional operator.  Still trying to decide if and what I want to preorder.  I am sure there will be a few in each catalog.

I got one last week because I'm very special. I think there is a lot of very nice items in that catalog. I'm thinking about getting the inexpensive work train for my boys as a birthday gift. I'd like the NH deisel set, but the most impressive va va va voom item in that catalog for me is the semi-scale Hudson. Unfortunately, the conventional version is $399. Way to steep for a conventional semi-scale locomotive. Maybe I'll get lucky and find one on blowout . . .

I received it yesterday in same package as the Lionel catalog - I'm an LRRC member (primarily so I always get the catalogs). While I look at the catalogs online, to me there is nothing better than being able to flip through a hard copy.
