Today I got the 2007 Volume 2 Flyer and the Big Book Catalog. It has the Union Pacific Heritage Locos near the last page. They are stunning. I am waiting to see them in photos. The CNW unit looks great in the illustration, will it be as great in finished product. That might be the only way to get a CNW SD80/SD90MAC.

I just sent Williams an email requesting a catalog. I also explained that from now on, I wish to be the very first customer on the planet to receive one.

Geeeeesh!

re: lebels, Kent and Kelly received catalogs - Kent's had no particular annotation while Kelly's was labeled "TCA Member."

I received my yesterday and looks fairly good. I see now that Williams is going to make the Heritage series engines. I would like to see the model picture instead of the drawing. Either way there going to look cool.

Received mine last week as a "CTT Subscriber" also.

I have never ordered from a Williams Catalog---always bought from MA & PA. Last purchase was the scale Southern AA E-7 which now has TM/RS 4.0 installed. The Williams E-7 compares well with the Lionel E-6s and Weaver E-8s.

 

They list track[027,031,072] and list their new 150 watt transformer for $149.95 which is $50 discount from msrp. $1.00 per watt is a good value for a new transformer.

Maybe Williams will send me a catalog soon as I do some online shopping at the Williams website.  I like the Williams quality and the fact that you don't have to pay for extra features that will most likely go unused.

Does Williams list train sets with track and transformer? That would help sell trains for those who are new to the hobby.

Yup,

I got one. Its pretty nice. I'm glad Williams has finally seen sense and started producing a catalog instead of those large, uneasy folding brochures. I prefer the catalog style and I hope Williams will continue with it.

Nick! :)

Thats what I thought, but CTT must have a deal with them because on my mailing label it says "CTT Subscriber".

Yes, I received on in the mail a few days ago.  There's some nice stuff in it.  I'm not sure what I will order from it yet.

This was a surprise because I don't remember ever giving William's my name and addressShock [:O]

Did anyone else. I haven't had time to go thru it yet. It seems like an interesting catalog though.
