The NYC Mohawk has caught my eye. I remember seeing them when I lived next to the main line between Buffalo, NY amd Cleveland, OH in a small town west of Erie, PA. Probably won't get much else as I splurged on the last couple of catalogs and have CCII items still coming in.

I have a friend at work who will be very interested in the re-issue of the"American Flyer" UP Northern. Not a bad retail price with RS either.
I'd love to have the C&O Allegheny, but it's just a little out of my budget for now. Same for the Southern PS4 Pacific. They sure are nice to look at though!
I will be ordering a N&W stock car or two, maybe the C&O hoppers.

Yes it is kind of thin...but I won't be buying anything until spring any ways. I want to get a scale steamer next so I am saving up now. Probably have to get some scale cars to go with it too. What the heck it is only money. lol.

But they are offering the C-O Allegheny again. They must have re-tooled part of it.

Got mine Wednesday while I was at "Miss Edna's" [Todd's Train Depot]. I like the comment, "kind of flat". Was thinner and dropped some of the good stuff from the earlier one.

I think it's the least interesting catalog I've seen in years. Looks like Lionel is treading water while all the legal mumbo-jumbo goes on. Can't blame them really. At least I'll save some money this next 6 months or so! They ARE finally making the Great Northern Geep I've wanted!
