I read more and more about a volume 2 catalog. I thought since the 2018 catalog included everything that was it for 2018.

Ryan Kunkle has been saying from the first catalog that there would be a second. I suspect it will be like previous Volume IIs with a rehash of Volume I, a few added items, and a preview for 2019.
On one of the Ryan and Dave shows they mentioned models like the H-10 have numerous possiblities with roadnames and the two tender styles. I suspect we"ll see the H-10 in new offerings.

Hey Rick, I no nothing about the history of the H-10, but really liked the model's features, size, and price point. Any idea what other road names are possible given the history of the prototype (I realize fantasy schemes could make the answer infinite)?
It would be cool to see some more Amtrak stuff like a metroliner or acs64. Or some NJt Arrow 3s or an ALP45DP

Well that is a disappointment. I was hoping the new Hybrid was going to be announced, some hints on the new vision line release and a possibly a couple of revitalized steam releases... like possibly another Challenger or PRR M1b?
Also, a few add on cars coming for my UP excursion set?
Well I've been known to look at the glass as being half full...

Et44ac or AC4400cw would be awesome (scale)

What's the disappointment? I said "I suspect". I imagine the Brass Hybrid announced. We don't know yet. It's all conjecture until tonight or August 20th.

I believe Lionel would sell a lot more H10s if they replaced the cow catcher with the foot board pilot to reflect how it looked after WWII.

Only if the headlight is in the correct location per road name unlike the ES44AC.
I do remember when Ryan visited TrainWorld in 2016(I believe), he was asked about Strasburg #90. His reply was he knew #90 well since he worked out there and it was something definitely on his list. I would say that it will come based on that, just a question of when since I don't think they have ever done an engine like that. If they do indeed do it, it will have to be perfect otherwise I would imagine Ryan would get the evil eye.
Whatever does come out will as most usually say, stuff from the other catalog with some new things here or there. I'm not sure what I would be looking for, though some would say Hudson. I think that we may get something that has been a while (I hope).

Only if Norfolk southern placed the headlight in the same place everyone else did.

Agreed 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need more equipment of today!
I can't wait! Maybe more new subways or scale M7's 8's or the new M9's. I would love a re-run of the 2-10-4 Texas with cylinder steam and whistle steam.
And yeah, brass hybrid! Maybe it will be a beautiful passenger steamer.

If they make number 90, or any other Strasburg Steam, it will need a full-sized front end coupler.
I would love to see a rutland mogul that runs correctly right out of the box and not take a year to fix.
Do you think that will in the new catalog?
Lionel went over the new catalog at the LCCA convention today. Ugh. LOTS of UP is all I really remember. Some SD40-2’s too.

Ant good steam? Modern stuff?

Legacy camelback with whistle steam

For real! I missed that. Hopefully they try again

I want to say there were many many Challengers. Fantasy paint schemes as I recall, and cabooses to match. They're coming back with the O27-ish auto loader cars, but the mid-90’s version, not the modern or postwar fame. Both O and S, but the S cars are really just O27 cars with S trucks. IMO, a rather ugly and uninspired BNSF 40’ Boxcar that I think was from Weaver molds. Sorry, I couldn’t really pay attention during the presentation. Too much talk about the new Frozen train set, a retail store in NC, Lionel kids furniture and fabric. I guess I was expecting some real sexy talk, but hey, there’s a $50 range O New Bright type line coming. HO track with magnet connectors. Lots of flashy sales catch words, but not a peep about how hard they’re trying to improve QC and the like.
I might take a D&H challenger, depending on msrp
Dj'sOgaugetrains posted:I might take a D&H challenger, depending on msrp
Sorry, don’t remember. I think Rio Grande, SP Daylight.....plus others. I want to say there were six flavors. One of them in some gray/red scheme has a matching boxcar that I just remembered had cool looking lettering.
The new brass hybrid, a Norfolk & Western J, was announced at the LCCA meeting today. Pre order is up and running on the Lionel Store website. This is only offered through the Lionel Store website. Available in pilot and several painted N&W versions.
http://www.lionelstore.com/LEG...Hybrid-K2-Pilot-9999
Sales numbers of the initial hybrid met their expectations. (Spoke with Lionel's Sales Director).
They also mentioned a new Vision-line Challenger (mentioned in an earlier post by others). This will be the 2nd time the Challenger will be offered in the Vision-line series.

Sp daylight... no thank you, Rio Grande, if they can get the details right for the L-105 challenger that would be awesome. Also western Maryland and D&H had challengers so let's see..... I'm curious to see the details.

Here's all 5 of them.
Some of the LCCA attendees should consider taking one of these courses.

I agree. I'd get one if they'd change the pilot.

I would like to see that plus an accurate sound system. I have the H-9 from 2002, and it looks great, pulls great, but has a less than stellar sound system.
Today's Legacy has a far superior chuff system, but the H-10 should also have a banshee whistle if they really want somebody who already has the H-9 to buy the new engine. The whistle they put in the H-9 is far too deep, and destroys the effect.
Dj'sOgaugetrains posted:I might take a D&H challenger, depending on msrp
I would only be interested in this if the headlight was mounted properly in the smokebox door. It was the most easily distinguishing D&H feature versus the other challengers.
I wouldn't hesitate for a second if a true D&H Challenger was produced. With a hint of European styling, it was most distinctive; headlight, stack, sleek boiler and tender. Anyone would be glad to have one on their roster. It would complete my steam bucket list so count me in on this one!

Actually it's a K2, not a J. 4-8-2, not a 4-8-4. I've got one that 3rdRail/Sunset did a few years ago. A nice compliment to those w/Js in their collection already.

When do we get another vision line hudson? Specifically the 50th anniversary J3a. ( I'm convinced something must have happened to the tooling)
It would be Lionels best hudson ever. Great detail along with the VL whizz bang stuff.
The muddy tooling of the 700e had me uninterested.
i hope there is a camera locomotive and more lionchief tier 4s and a few good starter sets as well as more ho stuff

One more time: Lionel never said there would be no Vol. 2 catalog in 2018.
What Lionel did say is that the Vol. 1 catalog would be all in one — no separate Christmas, ready to run, American Flyer or track and power catalogs as Lionel has done in the past. It was all in one catalog.
Any mention of the remainder of the American Freedom Train passenger cars? I really hope Lionel doesn't leave us hanging with half a set.
