A ton of Lionel coming in next week. Too much to list right now. AF freights, Blue tooth sets, cars and AC-9s!

I know many who will be very happy to hear this. 
I took a quick look as I'm between flights here in CA. I don't see it but if it is Chris will contact you

And others that will complain. LOL!
Can’t wait for the phone call on the moguls
I don't know if the Mikados are in that shipment, but I'll hope for the best.
Anything yet?
I had forgotten to pre-order the Legacy B&M 2-6-0 Mogul 6-84069 I wanted and was hoping my local LHS (Charles Ro) would have a couple extra, but they were spoken for as well. I happened to be in their area on business today and decided to stop in and saw an 18 wheel FedEx truck in the parking lot. As luck would have it, the B&M Moguls were on the truck and the computer showed someone had just cancelled their order, so I scooped it right up and had them run it on their test track to make sure it was good out-of-the box. Looked and ran great.
It's in the trunk of my car as I write this at my office and will set it up and run it tonight and try to remember to take a video to post tomorrow.
Thanks to the crew at Ro for getting it off the truck and processing it right away.
We need more locos.
How about a train of just 25 Steam Locomotives with no freight cars?
How's the sound on the Moguls?
AC-9's are exciting. Love big steam!
Train world's website shows the Moguls as "add to cart" vs Backorder.....
Just placed my order...first Legacy engine. Hoping for the best!
For those who have purchased this locomotive, did Lionel include a dummy front coupler for double-heading? This kind of information isn't listed in the catalog(s) anymore. 
And the exploded parts diagrams on Lionel's website only have the earlier (conventional) moguls listed -- and those understandably don't show a dummy front coupler for double-heading, just the scale coupler.
Thanks in advance!
David
I let you know but I have not gotten a phone call yet from my dealer looking for final payment yet.
Didn't get a chance to take a video last night of the B&M Mogul, but I'm pretty certain the box had a dummy coupler as well as two extra traction tires.
Will try again tonight.
If anyone has any videos of the new moguls I'm sure we all would love to see them.
I hope to see some of the AC-9's as well.
The people at TrainWorld just uploaded a short video of the AC9 in action.

Thank you. That confirms what I heard from Pat's Trains late this afternoon. Pat now has 2 fewer Moguls in his inventory! 
And they just arrived in the shop today when I called. So Pat opened one of the boxes and checked it out before calling me back. Great service!
I inquired with Lionel's TalkToUs folks via email, but didn't get a response yet. I guess they didn't know.

Unfortunately, I've really had my fill of articulated steamers, so I'm gonna pass on these. But kudos to Lionel for implementing a strong whistle-steam effect on this loco. Might be the best I've seen yet.
That is a cool whistle steam - glad I preordered no. 3800.
WOW! @Dave Olson. Nice job on the whistle effect! I agree with David this looks like one of the better whistle steam effects.

Yeah, it's a cool effect (non-buyer's remorse here) but Lionel needed to do something to make it more obvious where the whistle and main smokestack are closely aligned through the outputs from the smoke unit that feeds them. I've accumulated 4 engines with whistle effect and only on one does it show up very clearly (ATSF 3000, the first VL engine) because the main smokestack output obscures the others' whistle "steam."
(I have wondered about putting an angled piece of tubing in the others' whistle smoke outputs!)

The hardest whistle steam for me is the VL Big Boy. With it being right at the stack it can be hard to see.
Got to run the B&M Mogul last night and took some pics and a video with my iPhone 7.
Pic's are attached (dummy coupler shown), but the video is very, very blurry after upload - really unviewable. Looks great on the iPhone, so not sure what I did wrong.

I believe we have a forum member (St.Paul) that did just that to his VL BB. I haven't seen it in person, but he posted photos of it somewhere here. I really need to get in touch with him so we can go double head ours again.
@Richie C. I'd like to hear it blurry or not, if you could post it! Thanks!

Sorry, I don't think the sound came out, either. It shows up on my computer as a "3gp" format, which I'm not familiar with. I'm posting it here, anyway, but I don't think it's playable - my apologies in advance for my lack of computer knowledge.

I guess it did come out as playable and with sound - just not sure why the video quality is so poor.
Thanks for posting. Sounds great.
Hmmm........sounds like the moguls got an SP style whistle too
Thats the same whistle tone used in the JLC and Lionmaster cab forwards, to be exact.

Better than that whistle on the Vision Hudson....sounds great to me. I expect to get my CV Mogul within the next few days.
I'd enjoy more pictures/videos of the mogul, if anybody wants to share them.
(And the AC-9, for that matter!)
WELL LOOKS LIKE LACKAWANNA 565 IS NOW ON THE YORK LIST

Honestly, basing the new whistle off the TMCC version, I think it's pretty decent and a close quillible version.

Attached is the same video but now (hopefully) much clearer and with sound. Apparently the blurriness is caused by the amount of compression and method of transmission. Sending by e-mail is much clearer than by text.

Love it, can’t wait for mine
Just ordered #3805 from Nassau. No whitewalls for me 
Hoping the large SP lettering on the tender is the correct silver like my AC-12.
Can we see more videos of these wonderful locomotives?
