2015 Christmas Catalog

Ah Mr. Grinch, it is never too early to be thinking about Christmas and all the good things that come with it. The 2015 Christmas catalog is a good start for you. 

If that doesn't work for you, then come visit our new PE layout. That sure would do the trick.

True, but look at the other side of the coin... those items that don't make it in time this year have pretty good odds of being early for next year's Christmas! 

I just took delivery of a dozen scale PE coal hoppers, that missed Christmas 2014, but now they're 7 months early for 2015.  Same thing happened to the scale North Pole Central covered gondolas that were catlg'd last year and arrived a couple of months ago!

I love Christmas stuff so it's never to early to look at it for me. The new saw mill actually has logs going in and a string of presents come out. "Still doesn't make any sense" I think they should have had candy cane logs going in and maybe presents coming out. The log car should be decorated like candy cane logs instead of regular logs.  If Lionel is going to do fantasy they should do it right! All the fantasy things are OK with me just chalk it up to the magic of Christmas!

If they were candy cane logs, some small kids may try to eat them, or replace the logs with real candy canes, after seeing the fake ones. Ya never know what happens! They may become loose on the floor.

Things have changed. On the cover, Santa is handing the little girl the train while her brother looks on happily. Inside, the trains are themed to Polar Express, Peanuts, Thomas. I remember when at Christmas I longed for a train with the name of a real railroad on it that I could do imaginary railroading with. Also, since my grandson is glued to his mini IPad every moment, the catalog went in the trash rather quickly.

have you seen the prices for some of this stuff i would purchase some because i do chrisymas displys for christmas parties however 240.00 for a sawnill is over my budget

Yes noticed that too about the girl getting the engine!  Refreshing change, equality and all that.

Luckily neither of our kids are married and if they do hopefully never have grand kids (done raising kids don't need more underfoot.) And I would really dread the thought of them touching handling my train stuff (adults yes, kids never).  Given the technology anyway today, grandparents would not be needed, kids would just have virtual ones on their I-whatever toy they are glued to 24/7 (see them in church playing games instead of listening to Gods word.) 

See i LOVE christmas soooo i love it!! hahahha But think about it as a retail point of view.. Needs to get out there to get orders in to have ready to ship by Fall. Makes sense what your saying tho!!

its pre-order like the other catalogs. The year only refers to the year the catalog is issued and so we all have learned has nothing to do with when it will be made and then shipped
