"is the date CONFIRMED to be july 15th"
That's what Ryan Kunkle stated a few weeks ago.
I'd be excited to see a PRR T1 or SP Cab Forward in Lionmaster, especially with whistle steam and Legacy (or at least the momentum function - not sure if that's available in the newest iteration of LC). I think the cab forward in the fantasy Daylight scheme looked really good when MTH did it in RailKing.
Thinking more outside the proverbial switching yard, I would love to see Lionel offer more foreign railroads or expand into narrow gauge railroads. The Mallard or the Flying Scotsman with Legacy and whistle steam and all the new smoke effects would be amazing. I've been looking for years for that beautiful Bavarian steam engine in blue that MTH did about a decade ago but it's very hard to find on the secondary market.
@Dave_C posted:A NYC woodsided caboose with more scale proportioned separately applied details . The ones in the last catalog are still using the same car from the mid 80’s. Time to re tool or offer ones done in brass.
The most accurate one Lionel ever did was the 717, only got the trucks wrong. If you got the diecast 1991 remake of the pre war caboose and put the plastic caboose trucks on it moved inboard you would be pretty close. MTH versions have pretty good detail with just the wrong trucks.
You have the skills Dave. You should find a Mullet River and build it. By far the most accurate 19000 caboose done yet including the brass ones.

I guess that means that us Penn Central guys are out of luck.

Lionel catalogs are usually released on-line on Mondays or Tuesdays.
Releasing a catalog on-line on a Wednesday is what M.T.H. has been doing.
Is this a hidden message?

It could be both the typical old MISSOURI PACIFIC and CHICAGO & EASTERN ILLINOIS auto racks on TRAILER TRAIN flat cars
They can make the original scheme MISSOURI PACIFIC high-cube 86' boxcar
There is the later scheme MO-PAC 'Screaming Eagle' high-cube 86' boxcars to produce.

If I was ordering something from lionel I would hope for: all the screws: the trucks to stay attached; all the advertised features; correct color; a decent delivery date; it works as advertised; and no zinc pest.
Buy that's just me and I kind of aim high.

Just as much luck as the real railroad had. 
I need more Lionel scale rolling stock like I need a hole in the head, but I’m still hoping for some more Friendship Train offerings.
Seems like the leaks are late this go around.....

there might be a printed catalog shortage because of the situation right now heck it might just all be online this year although i'm hoping to get a printed copy after the online version comes so i can sneak it to school. don't worry i don't read it during class but if i studied my school work like i studied the catalog i would have a 4.0 GPA
Anything New Haven. A run of legacy Genset switchers would also be nice. Even if they aren’t up to vision line standards.

For those who are members or thinking of joining the LCCA, a preview of the catalog will be part of a virtual on-line seminar by Ryan Kunkle and occur on July 13 from 3-4 PM EST. This usually happens at the annual meeting, which is, obviously, occurring virtually. Whether everyone will be sworn to secrecy is unknown.

i hope there is a new selection of lc2.0 and not just what was previously advertised
How about some u-boats, auto carriers & more passenger cars to match the auto-train vista vision dome car soon to be released.
I am hoping that the O scale FMC or PC&F type exterior-braced 50' double-door boxcars based on box cars built in the 1970's and 1980's would be able to be produced again, this time with roller bearing trucks.
