What do you like in the New Lionel Catalog?

Las Vegas Poker Chip car. Oops, I thought this was the most ridiculous car topic.

And it's in an aquarium car to boot!

Hi Doug. Do you take the train that stops at Edison Park? And if you do, Do you ever get off and visit Chicagoland Hobby?

i'm a big fan of the long island diesels and the new heavy weight coaches. i am very happy that over the last few years more lirr trains have been produced in O guage. the LIRR had been overlooked for way too long!

I like the pre-war set, the 0-8-0 switchers, and the B units that shut-down. I'm still waiting on TMCC II. Overall, a nice catalog, but a lot of the items are pretty pricey!

The annimated mini-golf accessory, also the flats with trailers. Joe

The new 027 Mikado in B & O and UP! Nice! I'll take the B & O please. Very reasonable price, $250 list, with sound. (I'll enjoy it now and pop in the TMCC later.)

The 269E Prewar reissue set is nice. Too expensive for me though.

James the Red Engine - I'll buy that, along with the S.C. Ruffey freight car. It's my daughter's favorite sodor locomotive.

The Trainsound cabooses are odd. I can understand the tender, and boxcars, but to have chuffing, whistles, and horns coming from the very back of a train seems like not such a great effect.

California Zephyr Streamliner 2-Pack - these look like the cars in our SF El Capitan set. $125 for 2 is a little too steep for me!

Don't find the prices for any TMCC sets too interesting....and the $2800 set...who is going to buy that? I do like the TMCC crane and boom....that would be pretty cool. I am looking for a good TMCC steam engine set and I guess I like the $429 2-8-4 Berkshire set they have....but will hold off until 2nd catalog comes out and see what it has to offer...I think the Nascar sets were a mistake......model trains should (within reason) mimic the real thing...kind of like the floating alien car...... :-)

I took the chance to peruse this over lunch today - I like the $85 UP RS1, the CGW and C&NW piggy-back flats with vans; the end door opening boxcars; the flats with wood decks. What did you find interesting?
