I received the Lionel End Of Year Offers brochure last week. Very nice layout, 6 page fold out on very heavy paper. A total of 18 items hi-lited. The prices listed are full retail in which most of the items have not been listed in any previous catalogs, the dual pak Beatles Boxcars may be the exception.
Two NASCAR items, the #7 J R Motorsports traditional size boxcar and the 1/24 diecast #7 J R Motorsports stock car.
There are 2 traditional size boxcars, NYC and SP that are produced in the USA. Price seems high, listed at $60 for non-scale, no add-on detail boxcars.
A Legacy equipped GP-7 and caboose for the Polar Railroad, I guess a play on the Polar Express popularity.
The one item that I am interested inis the Union Pacific early era inspection vehicle. The description states that they are command controlled but does not state TMCC, strange. Listed price is $130, it will be interesting what the dealers discount will be.

I like the offerings esp. the C of G geep. My only purchase though will be the 4 pack autos. Cheaper than the aftermarket $10. each price.
