I would be in for an 'upgraded' K-line tooling sourced J1e Hudson, a PRR H10 with the taller tender and better silver paint, a revisit of the PRR M1b, a scale camelback possibly, and a Lionel Lines baby Hudson with die-cast 6-wheel 2046 tender - can be conventional, or LC 2.0 whatever.
Any small legacy steam would be considered.

A big Yes! For aLionel Lines baby Hudson, number it 2046 as well.

And all black paint please if it's not too much trouble.
@Randy_B posted:PRR H10 with the taller tender and better silver paint,
No, no, not silver! The last one had a wonderfully silver smokebox....but...it's not supposed to be silver.
It's supposed to be graphite.(a dark grey)
Prototype steamers have a mixture of graphite and linseed oil on the smoke box because if it was painted it would burn off.
Oh and how about an oxide red that is the same on the Loco and tender instead of a tender that's too bright and a cab roof that's burgundy?
The red on the k4s and m1s from years ago looked good....what happened?
Meh. I won't be buying anything anyway. That h10 was my last new purchase....fool me once.....
How about a Lionchief 2.0 773? I’d be in for one of them.

That's what I mean actually - no more white-silver, but the darker color we were accustomed to previously.

Another great idea. Use the Lionel Lines road name

Absolutely!!
How about some MP-54 electric commuter cars in PRR,Penn Central and Reading?
I guess the Acela is a go from what a hobby shop posted on line.
What shop?

Please!
@Trainlover9943 posted:What shop?
It was just the front cover and not on their website. I won’t mention the shop. No details were given just the front cover. It featured the Acela.
@MartyE posted:It was just the front cover and not on their website. I won’t mention the shop.
Front cover of the catalog?
You guys have seen the cover?
@Trainlover9943 posted:Front cover of the catalog?
Yes. Front cover. Nothing else.
What was on the cover
Long Island RR motive power in LC+ 2.0
Thanks
The same thing I always want.. A UP Big Blow Turbine

was it the new acela train or the old one?
If they are going to re-issue a certain type of ATSF engine (will not say what it is to prevent the thread from being deleted)
Lionel should reissue the VisionLine 700e since a lot of us missed out on the first run

That and the PRR CC2 since that certain locomotive, the 700E, and the CC2 were made around the same time.

YES! I completely forgot about the CC2
Some 2-10-10-2 information in the new OGR issue on page 13.

The Beast Is Back!
One of Lionel’s initial Vision offerings—Santa Fe's 2-10-10-2—has returned
after more than a decade. Upgraded with today's Legacy and Bluetooth control,
this current run includes the addition of safety valve steam and selectable whistle
sets for even more fun and value. The Santa Fe built ten of these monsters
in 1911 from existing 2-10-2 locomotives, with new front engines
supplied by Baldwin. At the time, they were the largest locomotives
in the world. The distinctive turtleback tenders would serve other
locomotives until the end of steam. Loaded with stack, whistle,
blowdown, and now safety steam effects. Also includes swinging
bell, loads of added-on detail, and both Legacy and Bluetooth control. For price,
availability, and more information on this latest release of Lionel's 2-10-10-2 locomotive, visit www.lionel.com.

Another reason to subscribe to the Digital Copy! You can read it on an iPad while sipping coffee on your veranda.

That would be silly. Verandas don't drink coffee.
@MartyE posted:That would be silly. Verandas don't drink coffee.
They do if they have a mouth painted on the front.
if the acela is coming back i wonder if they are going to do the original 1999 American Flyer scheme with the pointless arrow
Someone has probably already suggested a re-release of the scale berks, or maybe a vl version of them, but I'm not sure since I skipped to the end. Anyways, I would love to see it, but they need to do a proper c&o Kanawha. They did the Virginian one in 2004 so I know they have the toolings to make a Kanawha, and I once considered purchasing the 2004 Virginian berk, but I'm holding out for a legacy one, however I'm not going to get my hopes up. This is all I'm really hoping for, and I'm interested to know yalls thoughts.
+1 on the C&O Kanawha. I don't know why they haven't done one yet.
And I hope the Acela rumors are true. A proper re-issue with the tilt fixed or eliminated, the IR connectors fixed or replaced with plug connectors, Legacy control, and capacitor LED lighting would be the stuff dreams are made of. Such a spectacular model to behold. I'm selling my current set but would honestly buy another if it were Legacy.
And I really think Lionel is missing a market by having not yet done an F45. They have the trucks and frame, would just need a shell. I remember when I was working at a hobby shop and we got the Athearn F45s in HO and N in. We couldn't keep them on the shelves.
I also saw the cover for the American Flyer catalog.
