Opening hatches and discharge gates.

I really hope Lionel is working on a Western Maryland 1309. They have the tooling for a C&O 2-6-6-2. I feel like it’s a no brainer…….as is Reading and Northern 2102. But what do I know?

more strasburg stuff keep it coming

@Dave_C posted:A NYC woodsided caboose with details that we are used to seeing. The overall 80’s designed caboose is okay. A diecast chassis, Kadee ready, scale handrails, brake wheel, separately applied grab irons, scale Tomar like lanterns or none at all, more scale sized window panes, perhaps an interior, figures, scaled ladders and newer trucks. I’m not condemning smoke to those that like it. I’d rather have a scale size stack and an interior. Offer a few different coopola’s for other roads that had similar styled ones. Such as the Rutland, CV and Boston and Albany.
For all the L2a’s, B&A Berkshires and Mikado’s. Nobody has ever done a nice caboose. They all have flaws. They tooled up a beautiful bay window for the diesels. You either have to 3 rail a brass one or pay a hefty price for a Mullet River one and build your own.
You’ve made some really nice prototype engines. Make a quality detailed caboose to bring up the rear.
Ditto on this. I have one kit bashed B&A caboose from Dave. More are needed on my pike
I doubt it'd sell well but I really wanna see this be re-released. And it's already so outlandish that the inevitable 5 fantasy paint jobs wouldn't be an issue

Just one wish: More affordable command /power options. Not everyone already has them and some of us would buy more expensive trains if we did.

What a hoot! If they make this a LionChiefPlus 2.0 model for under $400 (like the Doodlebugs in the current catalog) it would be very popular. Imagine the sounds that they would put in this thing! It would be a great crowdpleaser. And of course, the SF Warbonnet livery would look great on that (as it does on just about everything else),
Lionel legacy/ Vision PRR Q2
Lionel legacy/ Vision PRR T1
Lionel Legacy/ Vision Triplex, maybe a Virginian brass hybrid too.
I say legacy/ vision because I would order them as strait legacy or if they were given the vision treatment.
I would also love to see the Allegheny return as a vision line model.

I am hoping that Lionel re-issues the scale, Napa Valley Wine Train. The last time they offered it was 2005.
I have seen this set in-person one time, and it is gorgeous!

Ooooh I didn't even think of Warbonnet! NYC original, Rock Island Rocket (which I think was a redeco with the original), and Warbonnet would be perfect. Maybe a US army redeco with a shark nose decal would be cool too but that one seems like a bit of a stretch.

I know this has a snowballs chance in **** of being made. However, this is a wish list.
Chicago Great Western 2-6-6-2 Mallet Mogul Class H1
They didn't last long on the CGW, and were later sold to the Clinchfield.
A nice old fashioned streetcar or interurban would be great. Legacy preferably or Lion chief Plus 2.0 at least. Nothing bumper-to-bumper, conventional, or only 1 truck! 'Woodsided' and to scale would be a plus!
MTH has their Semi-convertible Brill and PCC (released in PS1 through 3), so.....
I guess I will keep pushing for the rest of the AFT cars.
-Lionel already made the Exit Car/Power Car #111. They can use this mold to make the Power/Bunk car #200.
-The AFT's Showcase Cars would require new tooling, so we may never see these. But it would sure be nice. Same tooling for two cars, and everyone that bought the display cars would want these.
-Lionel does not have a long flatcar, so they could make the F85C flatcar used on the AFT. Many roads used this car so there should be a market.
-Lionel's Entrance/Control Car #100 is entirely wrong, but could be used for the two storage cars that accompanied the train, #33 and #34.
Lionel - you made the display cars, a power car, and the crew cars. How about the rest of the train.
i'm gonna keep pushing this until someone gets the message at lionel
Lionchief daylight set with semi scale GS4
BNSF semi scale GS4
In fact just make semi scale GS locos in all the paint schemes you did for the vision line GS series including the california zephyr western pacific gs6
PLEASE LIONEL I'M BEGING YOU I NEED MY GOLDEN STATE 4-8-4s
oh and bring back the chonky dash 9 tooling from the 90s for lionchief 2.0 please
in CSX, UP , SP , CN , NS etc
i'm sure that tooling still exists they only used it like 3 or 4 engines the GE Demo , SP 8228, BNSF 739, 745
Well, since the Reading and Northern has successfully tested their T-1 #2102, I can see one of those showing up in an upcoming catalog. It would go well with the ex-NS F units from this catalog. Now all they need are some passenger cars and you would have a couple of excursion consists.
B&A tank engines, B&A berkshires released twice, yet no B&A caboose or passenger cars. What gives Lionel?????

The classic little Rugged Rails DASH 8 is a better choice for operation with the O gauge freight cars because the proportions are a closer match.
The GE DASH 9 is extremely tall compared to even O scale freight cars.

A lot of wishing here. Now how many will actually buy what they asked for if produced?
A scale GP20 with fixed pilots. In NYC, PC, and/or Conrail.
Dave
A Legacy O scale GM Aerotrain in the original GM demonstrator colors and emblems.
some more grand canyon railroad items but in traditional o gauge
anymore semi scale stuff that would look plausible in arizona that's at a price i can afford
was really intimidated by this year's prices
I feel like I asked for this without realizing the TMCC rotary plow turbines were actually new but Lionchief Rotary Turbines or the Army/Navy Turbine would still be a pretty sweet miniature engine, especially with the load of new army stuff in 2022 V1's traditional section. Granted the 44 tonners fill the same role but these little turbines are just cool imo.
I would like the following:
- trolley that can run on fixed voltage - Lionchief + 2.0 is fine
- streetcar that can run on fixed voltage - Lionchief + 2.0 is fine
- NYC R30 subway set on page 10-11 of 2009 Volume 2 catalog
@MartyE posted:A lot of wishing here. Now how many will actually buy what they asked for if produced?
I'd commit to buy the AFT cars.
I'd also commit to buy the MTH version of the PRR A5 if ever produced again. I wonder who has the molds? (NOTE: unless I can get the hard to find PS3 version first)
No commitment on anything else right now because of too many economic and life variables.
@MartyE posted:A lot of wishing here. Now how many will actually buy what they asked for if produced?
I think I’d be willing to buy a legacy Lionel F-3 or F-7 in the Rock Island’s diselization-era paint; otherwise I wouldn’t have posted it.
Wish they could put 2 angled coil covers on the former MTH PREMIER covered steel coil car that has one long round cover.
Make those versions of the covered steel coil gondola car for Grand Trunk Western, THE ROCK, Detroit & Toledo ShoreLine, and many others.
Andrew
When does the next catalog come out anyway?
Most likely mid July 2022 if history is any guide.
I would like to see L&N Diesels in Blue and Yellow , like E6
