Just saw the new Lionel 2104 catalog, http://lionel-nascar.biz/lionelcatalog/2014rtr/
man, they are milking everything they can out of those M-7 casts. A Batman themed m-7 set, not my cup of tea. To me it doesn't look like they'll be putting out a new model subway set any time soon....

That Batman subway set looks pretty cool to me and just made it on to my want list.
Considering how popular Batman is now since the Dark Knight trilogy was released, I think it makes a bit of sense why Lionel would go with putting the Batman franchise on one of its products, at least to test the waters.
Just be warned if we get a whole series of Justice League sets in the future...

The Batman franchise is getting a re-boot as they call it. A Batman Superman movie is coming then another 3 at least Batman films.....so it's a icon that will be in the public's eye for the next ten years......and there are Batman collectors that do not buy trains....but will buy this. Smart move IMHO......
Well The LIRR itself is putting advertising wrap on the M-7s . Here are some photos for the latest"get out of town" promotional trsin. The railroad is promoting recreational riding to events and sites on its routes. Batman and superman could be coming!!
