So what were your opinions of the new catalog? It seemed like there was some great stuff in there. Have to run, but will comment more later on.

The CoalPorter Coal Gondolas now have Rotary Couplers on one end so they can operate in any manufacturer's operating Coal Tipple or Coal Dump model.

The Canadian Pacific Royal Hudsons would be worth seeing and hearing in person, but they are not exactly what I am looking for right now.

Wellllll, it certainly has you covered if you can't get enough of beverage this & that...

...and the UP Heritage this & that as well...

Railking F3's appear to be the old Lionel shells (from the pics)

Like the GP35, hope they bring out more roadnames

Premier steamers are being priced farther and farther outa my reach

Handsome European products

I like the coal porter hoppers too (Ihave the Lionel rotary tipple)

Might order me the C&O Gp-9.

The Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern Coil Cars with Chrome Plated Covers are great.

I don't yet own, and hadn't ever planned on owning any MTH products.

With that said, however, the Princess Coronation is calling my name in a big way. Make that in a really big way. I love British trains, and the PC is just too tempting to pass up.

At a $1200 price tag, I really doubt that I'll be buying one. That is, unless I find it discounted to under $1000. If that's the case, we shall see, however like I said, I doubt that it will happen.
