Lionel catalog tease is up.

Thanks Chris, I love that N&W J on the cover. It's a must for me

Alex

The J is a must for me also. Can't tell what the other one is though. Mohawk maybe,

Dave

And so it begins......

Me too! But it has to have the goodies.

I love that N&W J on the cover. It's a must for me

Its a L2 Mohawk ....

Now, will the stuff actually be made and imported?????????????????

Yea i got the 1500 bucks ready for it .. Not joking Been saving for 4 months

And there'll be a lot of great deals floating up on the previous two Lionel scale Js. The old story.

Yes, I will have to have the J, and I need a good modern Mohawk (train, not haircut). :-)

I guess the web designers just didn't feel like an elaborate obscuring of the cover this time around 

Sorry, but Lionel cats need to be printed as landscape, not portrait format!

Looks promising. I can wait till Monday. Popcorn ready to read the whining post's and I would have ordered one buts......

I hope it's not 611.

anything Lionmaster?

Last York i saw a couple of guys selling the previous release of the Lionel L-2 for around $600. I had that on my list of items to keep an eye out for next week. Now here is the dilemma, do I try and get a great deal on the first run or do I pony up the probably 1800 to 2000 that the new set is gonna cost with all the new Legacy goodies?

Black version?!?!?!?!?

The 611 N&W J retail  price is 1300.00, engine only. To my understanding you can purchase the engine alone of course, or purchase the engine and passenger car's as a set. I think the retail price as a set is 1950.00.

Alex

Cab-1L, Base-1L, Legacy Powermaster.

Cab-1L will talk directly to Legacy Base. Operates Legacy "Real-Time Quilling Whistle/Horn. Looks just like a Cab 1

Legacy Powermasterallows for 32, 120, 200 speed steps.

2013 Delivery.

No Prices listed

Are you sure it is numbered 611?  I hope not, I already have one with that #.

Doug

Better quality version on Lionel's facebook page, it is #611.

Sorry Doug, it's numbered 611

0-4-0 Switchers. Camelback? Hey, a guy can dream can't he?

The separte sale N&W J will be #612.

The Mohawk will be in a set and also separate sale with a different road number.

Bummer.  I wonder why?

Doug

Sorry Doug I missed it. Ed is right, the seperate sale one is 612.

Whistle Steam?

Very much in line with other similar class locos with an MSRP of $1,299.99, and most of the big dealers sell them for $1170 or so.  If you're a careful shopper, some of these locos can be had for in the $1065-$1100 range when special sales are posted.

OTOH, the J is essentially a stream-lined "northern".  And at $1,300 it just goes to show how much of a bargain the Milwaukee Road S-3 locos were with their $995 MSRP.

I've never understood the mystique behind the J, as I think other locos have much more attention-grabbing detail and sounds -- although I'm sure Lionel will hit a grand slam with Legacy sounds on this one.  Don't get me wrong, it's a stunning loco for sure.  I just wouldn't race out to replace my current one (#606) only because of Legacy or whistle-steam.  Personal call for each of us though.  Then again, double-heading #606 with #611 or #612 could be tempting were it not for the fact #606 is not Legacy.

David

P.S.  the set price seems about right too, since MSRP for 4-car passenger sets is typically $639, with the big dealers selling them for $479 or so.  So expect the set price to be around $1650 on the street.  I wonder if dealers will offer the 4-cars as part of a set break-up?

Sweet i want the 612.. 1300 retail thats sweet means 1150 bucks to me...

I sell you mine for 550 in perfect shape with box no shipper though ...

"Whistle Steam?"

It doesn't mention it in the text.

Interesting cover.   I saw it on their facebook page.  Thank for posting it here.

I have to have the "J". I hope it at least has the whistle steam.

I remember years ago talking with my Dad about how one of these days they will be able to make the bell move and make smoke come out of the whistle.

Why wouldnt it .. The s3 is nothing but a J so it should have the same affects blow off steam and whistle...

What? No Union Pacific Centipede B unit?
