N&W dynamometer car
I was going to post a snarky comment, but I'm just waiting for this whole Covid-19 mess to be relegated to the dustbin of history. I don't need reminders.

Lehigh Valley C-420 yellow jacket as a direct offering from Lionel, NOT a custom run from a dealer.

Like it once was......
We have had 4 different models of 4-6-0 Camelbacks in O scale 3-rail, MTH Railking, MTH Premier, Williams, and Lionel. It would be great to see a different wheel arrangement such as a 2-8-0.
YES to subways with opening and closing doors and 21 inch Penn Congressional passenger car sets
I'd like to see a Rock Island Bankruptcy Blue GP38-2 or GP7 and a bay window caboose to go with them.
How about the complete 21 inch Great Northern Empire Builder set to match the GN Dome car they cataloged recently.

There's a market out here Lionel. It's your move.
@MikeH posted:18" passenger cars. MTH produced 8-14 sets per catalog!
Definitely yes! Not everyone can run 21" cars and 15" is too small to look realistic.
@Brian DeFazio posted:Definitely yes! Not everyone can run 21" cars and 15" is too small to look realistic.
Add me to the chorus. I want 18" passenger cars too!

Unfortunately, the MSRP on a Lionel 4-car set would probably be $800

Did Lionel post a 21" GN Empire Builder Great Dome car??

@MikeH posted:Unfortunately, the MSRP on a Lionel 4-car set would probably be $800
I agree with you Mike, but just for perspective, $200 a car is still the entry level price point for RTR scale passenger cars today. The next level up would be the Golden Gate Depot offerings at $300.00 per car. Are the GGD cars $100.00 better? that is up to the buyer. Some will say yes and some will say no, but you can bet that what ever the price is now/today, will be more the next time anything is announced due to the rising cost of production.
Obviously E-*** pricing and history is a pretty good indicator of secondary market value and it is pretty clear that engines/rolling stock that were "over priced" only a few years ago are now reselling for full list and more?
Seems kind of funny, what was "too much" a few years ago is now Ok... go figure.
So yes, $200 is a lot of money now for some folks, but I predict in a few years, $200 cars will be cheap.
It's all perspective.

Even better, a Lionel Lines LC Hudson!
Clever Halloween cars + accessories. Always.
I'm still hoping licensing issues get worked for "Spy v. Spy" and Alfred.

I don't think so, unless I missed it. They do have the tooling, though, and with a few minor modifications it would be spot on. Lionel did catalog an Empire Builder short dome car this year.
It would be great to see a reasonably accurate scale 1956 Empire Builder. K-Line made one more than 15 years ago, but it was missing a couple of car types, and the window arrangements for some of the cars were a bit off. Golden Gate Depot made an Empire Builder set just a few years ago, but it was the 1947 version with the dome cars added, which is not at all accurate. By the time the dome cars were added in 1956, the other cars had all been replaced since 1947. Maybe Lionel will make it somewhat more accurate for the train with the domes? Maybe GGD will reissue an accurate version someday?

Anything that hasn't been done in ten years or more.
I would like to see Lionel invest in more GE U and B boat locos. Maybe a modular design to incorporate the u28-U36B as well as the B23-7 to the B36-7.

For me I have been loving a lot of what has been offered The last 3-4 years.
036 curve rated CN diesel legacy and would love to see more like the H10. Tons of features that can navigate 036 curves. Would they / could they fit cylinder steam and whistle/dynamo steam in a 036 rated locomotive? May creep to vision line but would like to try and get those features in a 036 locomotive. Like maybe a USRA Pacific.

I love the bells and whistles and my biggest curve is O-36. I'll second introducing more of the cool new smoke/steam features in smaller-radius engines, especially steam coming out down near the wheels!
Here's a pretty simple request - an operating and uncoupling Fastrack that responds to command control. If the switches can be run on command control, why not the operating and uncoupling tracks?

Bob,
No comment on the offering other then the fact that custom runs tend to be small quantities, if it is a catalog item the quantity and distribution could be greater. Lionel did an LV yellow jacket many years ago but it was not Legacy. Agree on the C-630, either red or snowbird......I missed the opportunity when Atlas O offered these.

This is an excellent idea.

Great pictures! I would love to see Lionel offer more traditional 6464 sized boxcars besides personalized birthday cars and scooby doo.
