For those of you who have ordered from Charles Ro for decades, you'll be very happy to see that the Charles Ro website now has the new Lionel 2014 catalog prices online.  And GREAT prices at that.

 

As of this posting, their consolidated 2014 pricing brochure isn't on the home page yet.  But if you browse through the Lionel section, you'll see some of the new 2014 offerings listed along with prices.

 

I had already pre-ordered the PE Berk (in black) from Charles Ro before pricing was announced, but the prices are so good I may order a couple of other jewels as well!!!   

 

Have fun shopping!!!

Not sure what you're looking for Gramps, but there's a ton of stuff out there.  Certainly more than "a few" from what I could see.  For sure all the BTO stuff that I looked for was there... And a whole bunch more that wasn't BTO as well.

 

I'm sure they'll have the consolidated 2014 pricing brochure posted soon enough for ya!

Eliot,

 

As I mentioned above, they don't have the 2014 pricing brochure online yet, but I did notice lots of 2014 items when I was browsing the site itself.  Probably not exactly what you wanted to hear.  For all I know, they could still be adding more stuff as we speak.

 

I just happened to check for the PE Berk, and noticed they posted a price of $1019.95 and then saw the cab forwards right below it for $1199.95.  Lots -- but not all -- of other stuff listed as well.

The only prices I found were for RTR. None from Signature.

I'm just glad I'm not a toy train dealer, 'cause I'd never be able to keep everyone happy in this day and age.  

 

For the umteenth time... The catalog is not posted on the site.  But if you happen to be browsing through the various Lionel product sections, you'll notice they're populating the sections with 2014 content and pricing.

 

I'm sure they'll be replacing the 2013 pricing brochures on the website home page with a new 2014 brochure when they're ready.  I just thought it was great to see they were posting 2014 catalog prices on lots of stuff -- especially the BTO.

Prices are great to me looking at what others want for what I have on my list.

Yep. Just eye-balling a few items for comparison purposes.

 

Very nice pricing.

Exactly, that didn't go unnoticed... and I just may be tempted to order an FM in Canadian Pacific livery.  Might even do a pair of them, since I don't have any Legacy FM's yet.  

 

Those FM Trainmasters often remind me of the days my Dad (who passed away last year) would drive me to the local train shop on weekends when I was 7 years old.  I'll always remember browsing through the 1966 Lionel catalog at the store's glass display case.  The store had the Virginian FM, which had a $65 MSRP, marked down to $52.  But back then even that was a lot of money.

Not true, I just found this. There's not a catalog for just 2014 offerings, they are mixed in with the general selections.

 

UP BIG BOY #4017 GRN BAY (V14)

PRE-ORDERS ACCEPTED-EXPECTED AVAILABILITY BY 12/10/2014
OK, David, thanks.  I saw that last nite but did not weed to the bottom of each list to see the '14 stuff.  Hopefully Ro's normally-formatted red & blue page will be up soon.

Watch closely now...

 Click "Online Store", then click "Lionel."  Then click a product section such as "steam locomotives."  Browse listing...  Voilla!!!

For example, if you were looking for the upcoming Chessie Mikado, you'd search on L81299.  Works every time!

That only works if the products are entered into their database, there are about 40 products that I want to buy but they are no where to be found on their site yet.

Once you follow Rocky Mountaineer's steps look at the bottom to the right below "prices" and hit " next " for more items under e.g. steam locomotives, rolling stock, etc.
