With all the shipping delays that continue this year (i.e., anything to do with aluminum passenger cars has been a huge challenge:  the Pocahontas set w/611J has encountered yet another delay to Dec2014 for example... approx 15+ months after the locomotives were produced), I suspect anything new in the V2 catalog won't ship until 2015.  Although delivery surprises are always welcome!

Think back to Lionel 2013 Vol 2...  featured mostly warehouse overstock items destined for blowouts-ville; several nice pilot locomotives; a few weathered locomotives -- not sure whether those ever gained traction in the market; and a few new GP35 road-names.  Also a few pages introducing LCS as I recall.  

 

So perhaps Lionel will use 2014 Vol 2 to "re-launch" LCS now that a few more key components are newly or soon available.  I sense lots of puzzled looks on people (myself included) when we speak about LCS here... whether it's because we haven't had time to dig into the details yet, or more likely because it's tough to learn without all the products in place.  Although I've always been a hands-on learner, I still think there's a need for some excellent printed material that illustrates how all the LCS items fit together.

Best thing about a new Lionel catalogue is; I no longer have to share it with three older bothers. By the time they finished with it and it came to me it was so a mutilated it was barely legible.

I'm sure all the long awaited LionChief upgrades for the MPC era engines and  LionChief multi channel remote will be in this new catalogue. Probably the Playboy Pinup Girl Passenger train with William Jefferson Clinton observation car too. /sarcasm

This does sound familiar (probably read it here on the forum). I'd love to see Lionel produce modern remakes of some of their classic operating accessories. Or brand new ones. Or both.

I believe it was Charlienassau created a thread awhile back that there would be and accessories catalog. I think that the one guy from Lionel (name escapes me) that was on the Notch6 podcast at the LCCA convention said that this would be the case. He also talked about the postwar style gantry crane would be in it, and that it would be motorized to be able to move forward and backward.

The last Notch 6 podcast I heard mentioned a couple of "companion" pieces for the Vision Big Boy (including a water tender) and more command control accessories. Not sure if any of this will be in the new catalog.

 

BTW, I've given up on either MTH or Lionel producing later model UP water tenders (nos. 809 and 814) and am experimenting with 3D printing of the body shells, which have already been done in other scales.
