Lionel catalog 2022-Vol. 2

me i'm wondering because i want to see more mth tooling

and an iCarly engine or train set

also why is a PREVIEW all the way in August? did the catalog get delayed?

Mid July is what I believe Ryan said

This is exciting news. Here's a short (not really) list of items I want to see in the new catalog:

New Locos (with 4-digit addressing, of course):

-GEVO Hybrid remake with multiple liveries

-Legacy ET44AC/ET44C4 (new tooling)

-SD70ACe-T4 (new tooling)

-Erie/Virginian Triplex (former MTH tooling)

-Big Blow Turbine (former MTH tooling)

-SD50 (using Lionel's SD60 tooling)

-GP60/GP60M/GP60B (former MTH tooling)

-F45/FP45 (former MTH tooling)

-AC4400CW/C44ACM, BNSF AC44C4M, NS AC44C6M (former MTH tooling)

-U28C/U30C/ATSF U28CG/U33C

-Four Axle U-Boats (former MTH tooling)

-GE Dash-7 Line locos

-New ATSF/BNSF B40-8Ws

-Still hoping for a Vision Siemens Charger (3rd Rail is making Chargers, so I don't think this will happen, but it should).

-New Rolling Stock:

-Vision Ethanol Tank Cars

-Modern Vision Box Cars

-Intermodal Well Cars with Freightsounds in containers

-Santa Fe Superchief 21" Passenger Consist

-Santa Fe El Capitan Consist

-Amtrak Superliners

Also, what is the estimated ship date of the new Base-3? I'm also waiting for the next video update on the Cab-3 App and Base-3.

I believe the catalog is being release august 16th

I do not expect to see any items that require new tooling.  I think we will only see current Lionel offerings and their recent MTH purchases for the near term, and maybe in new liveries.  I know there are many folks looking to get an ex-MTH engine with Legacy so we should see those.  Myself, my PS2/3 engines are running just fine.

I was hoping Lionel acquired the MTH PRR A5 tooling, but their recent re-re-re-release of their old K-Line tooling indicates they either do not have it or they buried it in favor of their own product.  So, unless they issue cars in the pre-1954 REA scheme, without the red diamond which nobody seems to want but me, I again will pass on their products.

Also, I hope I am wrong.

I just got an email from Train World that they are having an on-line Vol. 2 catalog preview session in mid-August so I assume the next catalog will be released around that time.
Just a head’s up for any of you who were wondering.
(And you know who you are!)      

I really am not looking for a rehash of former MTH products with a 25%+ price increase.  Give us something new that we don't have. 

Ok here is when the catalog comes out per my email with Ryan July 15. That with Trainworld is to discuss things after the catalog comes out.

18 more days till the new catalog drops can't wait

I can't wait to see what MTH trains Lionel has in their new catalog.
Look at this secret marketing video discussing the new catalog>>>>

I guess it is a wait and see what they have decided to make.
