GRAND SLAM

Haha, I'm waiting for a hobby shop to offer their own line of credit. There are some great items in this catalog.

Wow, out of my league!,

over a Grand for A-B-A f's or FA's,

good thing their is no Missouri Pacific, as usual!

Dan 

 LOL LOL

My wife and I are already making a crazy (for us) purchase of the new PE Berk and a few cars. So, its a couple of valiums before I look over today's offerings. Lol.

 Gonna be some serious "credit card steam"

!

RickO . . . . 

How did you get a picture of my credit card ?

Just in !

From a reliable source !!

A very reliable source !!!

Deep within Lionel !!!!

The Cab Forward will have the same, very high, level of detail as the previous issue.

Brokers say . . . .  BUY, BUY !!

Absolutely a gran slam home run catalog !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be ordering the NYC Mikado, the 765 Berk, and a few Pacemaker PS4 cars

AWESOME AWESOME CATALOG, A HUGE THANK YOU TOO LIONEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex

Alex,

   Save some Pacemakers for me.

Bill

WOW! I am still recovering from the shock!!

Eliot when you get a chance could you ask your source if one of the Cab Forwards will have the early small lettering on the tender?

Pete

I think so but you have to purchase the one in Daylight colors...

o well .... guess I am not sending my kids to college ....

Yeah, whats up with that?

Pete

I guess I won't be laying off sick all the time if I intend on getting all the stuff I want from the new catalog.

Skipped on past all the steam re-runs expecting disappointment, then came the E8's. Here's to hoping Penn Central doesn't get cancelled!

Hmm, by daughter just gave me a great Idea!!

Maybe a "grand slam" for rich folks, not so much for the rest of us.  Nonetheless, enjoy.

Pete

OOOOOOOOOH Boy .. my seeing things... Berkshires with whistle steam  .What a catalog... Yes 3 run Homer for sure but grand slam would be with some sound cars. You west coast guys must be having a conniption..  Big boys and Cab forwards...WOW

One of the best catalogs in a long time...

Hey Scrapiron Scher,  Possibly you don't need those 48 PRR GGD cars after those prices from Lionel . I'm only after the twin unit diner, obsv, and a few sleepers. C'mon  do you know how hard it is to find PRR in Nebraska. Everybody here is into freight, and my only love is scale passenger PRR being my favorite. So save some money for future purchases. cause THESE ARE NOT THE DROIDS\CARS YOUR LOOKING FOR MOVE ALONG NOW ,  PLEASE

Nothing for us diesel guys.

What! What about the BN and BNSF MACs. For once I like the Lionel selection and it will be a painful year for the wallet.

I'm in for a few items. No locos as I've gone scale-wheeled for the most part. I'm in fear of the MTH 2014 v2 catalog since I pretty much escaped V1. The S2 Turbine was pretty interesting, though.

Maybe I am toast.

They did it so Lee won't have to repaint his AC-12. 

With this catalog, I could use such a shop... or a second job!     LOL!

Seriously, I will work (more) for trains...

Now comes the hard part - figuring out which engines, beyond the Big Boy, that I can shoehorn into my train budget.

Andy

Not a problem, Greg!  All that expense for tuition, room and board, student loans, etc. will take them most of their adult life to pay off.  Probably best to find a trade they can enjoy, and you'll have all that $ left over for train purchases.  

Wow can't believe all the working steam whistles on so many engines.  Grand slam is right on, this catalog is the best Lionel has put together in many years.  Have to think Mike R. had a big influence in this publication.  Cab Forwards, M-1a's, berks, in addition to the new Big Boys plus new rolling stock and their LCS system.   What to do, what to do, guess the layout bench work and track will have to be put on hold again.

John Barrymore said, "A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams."  I am coining my own phrase based on my reaction to the 2014 Lionel catalog: "A man is not old until he doesn't see anything in the Lionel catalog he must have."

Oh boy, I must be getting old!!!!

Well, you can borrow from a 403(b) but most likely if you are over 55 and no longer work for the non-profit you can just take withdrawals without penalty. That applies to 401K's as well if you are over 55 and no longer work for the company. You just pay the taxes, Federal and (state if applicable) on the withdrawal.

However, if you rolled them over to a traditional IRA or Roth you need to wait until you reach 59 1/2 to make withdrawals without penalty.

Patrick H,

You NAILED it, what a year for western RR fans! 

I've already pre-ordered a VL Big Boy.  The VL Reefers were on my wish list from Lionel, imagine how excited I was when I saw them in the catalog!  Holy smoke!

I plan on at least 2 sets of VL PFE reefers and a set of standard PFE reefers.  With those and the other 55 I already own, my VL BB will have plenty of cars to pull around.

Great catalog.  I was very thankful there were limited items I was truly interested in, I've bought too much this last year!  Now I can focus on building the layout!
