Nice catalogs, however there is only the on-line version for American Flyer. Went to my local dealer in Hanover to order and have to come back this week because he didn't have internet connection at the shop to get the item numbers. Is Lionel trying to end S-Scale production?

Come to think of it, I didn't see anything shown as "LionChief-Plus," unless I missed it.  I suspect it's probably cheaper and more efficient to make them all one way and not some one way and others in another way.

Sorry folks, I want  that conventional option.  Maybe I'm a dinosaur and my time has come and gone, but I don't think I'm alone.

There's always NOS!!!

Good morning all,

Kind of a sad commentary there are more pages devoted to one tremendously expensive engine style than to O gauge (not O scale) rolling stock and those are six pack assortments.   Another oddity is the 0-6-0 switch engines listed for 249 with conventional control ( as well as all the bells and whistles ) are only 30$ more than the 0-8-0 engines that are LionChief only.   Hmmmm.   Would it kill Lionel to make ONE ready to run set that you could still use a transformer with?  Ugh.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Aye chihuahua that's a lotta daylights!  Big Smile

 

You ain't kiddin'!  Sombody at Lionel must really  like Daylights!  

They better hope a lot of other people like 'em too!

Maybe they should have titled the catalog "Lionel 120, The Living Daylights!"

OK, got a look. LOTS of licensed merchandise, if that's what you mean.
