I spent more than I planned from the first catalog but we'll see what they come out with in the second catalog here! I'm excited for it!

Anything coming out of the rumor mill on what's in the next catalog?

Hard to believe we're on track for another catalog already, feels like the 2021 Vol 1 catalog just arrived - time is flying!

Yes! It is getting here faster than I expected. My locomotive orders from 2021 volume 1 were significant but I am sure we will find more Legacy locomotives to add to our layouts.

As a side note, Lionel said their orders from Volume 1 were excellent and are working hard to get it all out the door by the end of the year. An updated shipping schedule will be released as early as tomorrow.

Ohh boy...and here's me with a 4x8 test loop that won't be able to run the 2-10-10-2 I ordered I guess I have a deadline now haha

i'd really be hoping for some more 19th century stuff in both the traditional and scale lines for volume 2

I'm glad the majority of my buying is behind me.  I love looking at the catalogs but don't need much more stuff.

Well, I don’t need any more trains either but I know that when Lionel’s new catalog  in July I won’t be able to resist.

I feel like the guy at all the sporting events with the Rainbow Afro and a sign with a quote from the Bible ......  except I attend the Lionel virtual events and say” VisionLine Berkshire “.        So far I have been successfully ignored.  lol

2-8-8-2 H-7 cmon cmon. In Visionline would be amazing.  One of the last on my "Automatic Purchase" List.

Are there any rumors of products coming out? I know the leaked catalogs are very taboo but is there anything expected to be in the next catalog?

I can’t wait to see that 200 page full color big book over flowing with trains! Let’s face it, we all still love catalogs!

this just leaked today. more older tooling with new legacy bluetooth and all items painted in bright christmas colors 😂 and all with new voice anouncements you can add yourself. like.... well blow my whistle I am sure feeling minty green today 😁. soory could not resist.

Where did you hear about this leak?

I think its a jab at the paint mix-ups with the 2020 Vol 2 catalog products.

Is Lionel still on track to release the volume 2 catalog next month?

I believe Ryan announced during a Trainworld event that the next Lionel catalo will be out on July 15th. haven't heard anything different since then.

Bring it over, I'll be glad to exercise it until you get a suitable layout.  Take your time, I'll keep it warm.

That's actually a reasonable idea. Could save me the trouble of opening it up, accidentally breaking something inside and then asking you how to fix it here on the forum haha

Expect possible leaks early July.

Bill, I would advise shipping it to John!  It would be much cheaper than the 6-hour ride to the Lansdale area where John lives.    I went out there to their club open house once, and it took me nearly 6 hours, and I live in the same state. 

I would be happy to save you the trip, but my layout has 054 curves so that's no better than yours. 

@Mark Boyce the first back up plan is to just build a loop on the ground haha the second is to see if @G3750 has some open mainline.

Lionel announced July 16 for Volume II on Instagram.

Bummer, I thought I was in the running for long term "storage".

Every day John is waiting for the UPS or Fed Ex man to deliver the engine that never comes. 

July 16th is a Friday. Hmm, that's a bit odd. Most other catalog releases(I've seen anyway) have been Tuesdays or Wednesdays. I guess it can fall on any day of the week then. Sort of wondering what steam engines will make a reappearance? Berkshire's perhaps? What other engines would reappear? Heck I don't know. Northern's have been around, so doubt they'd be in. Anyone have any other ideas as to what repeat engines they'd be popping up? I would like to see a Y6 or a Berkshire, but can't think of anything else.

Dave, I wouldn’t even begin to try to guess what they will have in the catalog.  I’ve been fooled by them and MTH too many times.  Maybe I’m just an old fool!  😄

well 7/16 is my birthday maybe some New Haven to celebrate. I doubt it

I wonder if another train company will release some “email specials” at the same time Lionel releases their large catalog?

With you on that Bill, I pre-orderd the New Haven PA Legacy set. I'm hoping for a 21" passenger set

to go with them.  Lionel has not made any scale NH passenger cars.

Hope so, that "train company" doesn't have the quality control issues Lionel has.

Yes I agree with you 100%, it would be good if ALL train companies had the same firm commitment to high quality that Lionel has. Let's hope that other train companies follow Lionel's lead here.  I am looking forward to Lionel's huge catalog packed with a large quantity of quality trains! July 16th will be Christmas in the summer!

i wonder if the next brass hybrid is gonna be in vol 2 i mean how often do we get brass hybrids

i hope to own a pilot model one day when i'm making dough from my indie films

I would be pleasantly surprised if there were separate sale 40' trailers in trucking outfits like Carolina, Consolidated Freightways and Preston to name a few. These would look great on flat cars.

A legacy genesis is currently no.1 on my automatic buy list, closely followed by a GP-60 and an FEF-3. I'd love to see at least one of those in the new catalog.

Well, I was thinking about past catalogs, and what has come and gone. I know that we shouldn't be seeing any Northern's for a bit as they covered quite a bit over the last few years(unless they go with 844). Mohawks are covered unless they do L3's or L4's or something. They just ran some Pacific's, doubt will see Big Boy's, Challenger's, Y3's, or 2-6-6-2 Mallet's(maybe). H7's? Y6's? Berkshire's? I would like to see the last 3 I mentioned as I am interested in those since most of everything else I mentioned I have(except a Big Boy, who needs them, lol).

I know that there are other things I would indeed like to see, Dreyfuss, T1, S2 Turbine, Class A, Canadian Pacific Royal Pacific, other American 4-4-0's, Strasburg #90, the Mercury(NYC), Torpedo(PRR), Milwaukee Road Hiawatha Class A 4-4-2(and F7 4-6-4 Pacific's). Now that is one heck of a wish list, lol. Regardless of what I want to see, there are things on that list that should be made into locomotives one person or another may agree upon. See what the powers that be decide to part us from our money or keep a tight hold onto.
