Does anyone know when the New Lionel Catalog for the 2d half of this year comes out. ??

I thought I had read on the Forum that this year there will only be one catalog. I think that’s why everything was included in the last catalog: sets, Christmas, American Flyer, etc.
The catalog usually comes out around the same time as the fall York train meet.
So probably October-ish.
Actually Lionel's 2nd catalog usually comes out end of July or early August. I believe Ryan said there will be another one. @Conrail6358
MTH's catalogs are released at York.
Thanks Marty! I stand corrected.
Geez...end of July is right around the corner.

If we get a second one hopefully we'll see another brass hybrid.
Thanks everyone, I spoke with Ryan when he was at Nassau Hobby and he told me there would be a 2d edition but I wasn’t sure when it would appear. I’m hoping for the 2nd Lionel Brass train to appear.
I had originally heard it would just be 1 catalog from my local train store earlier this year, but things always change and communication doesn't always happen. I would say whatever anyone has heard Ryan say, go with that as it may not have gotten out to our local train store until the new catalogs arrive a day before.

NYC H-10 Mike or K-5 Pacific. And that PRR 0-8-8-0 chassis would sure look good with a NYC 0-8-8-0 hump switcher boiler and pilot on it and NYC tender behind it....
There are a couple of others - not even NYC - but they have no real chance of being made by anybody. Snowball's chance in August in my back yard (and I have to mow the lawn tomorrow...no riding mower, no self-propelled...very manly mowing; ouch).

Hopefully there will be things that OUGHT to be made that offer up some variation to the norm. I know every time there is a topic about catalogs, I hear(or see rather) about 10-15 things that get brought up that have not been made, that should be. This goes across the board for manufacturer's too.
I would hope that we will get some great things coming in the future.
Was in a hobby shop last week and was told September, which seems kind of late to me.
Lionel never said there would be only one catalog this year. It said there would be only one catalog last winter instead of the separate catalogs (Christmas, power, etc.) that have been issued in the past at roughly the same time. It was all contained in one catalog last January.

Lionel Catalogs for the past several years have been Jan/Feb for the first 1/2 and Aug/Sept for the second half. Note the second have will have a lot of product duplication from the first 1/2.
I wonder when the previously cataloged LionScale cars will be distributed.
