Yes, it does! ...and that will cost you $1599.99 and not a penny more 
@paigetrain posted:what are the roadnames for the lionchief 2.0 GP38?
CSX, Canadian Pacific, Ohio Central, Paducah & Louisville & Seaboard System
I just went through the catalog. I'm shocked to say I'm tempted by the Halloween Hudson.
Aside from the gg1's any Pennsylvania railroad or engines in a demonstrator paint scheme?

A Pennsylvania Tuscan GG-1 is offered as a Lionel Lines LCCA Exclusive. Other Pennsylvania GG-1's are The Congressional, The Senator, and two paint schemes for The Sprit of St Louis. Other GG-1's are U.S. Savings Bonds, AMTRAK, Penn Central, and American Railroads.
The AA Pairs are offered as the Midnight Flyer for Halloween and an Area 51 (Green) Freight Set with GP38.
So there's no Conrail GG-1 #4800?
@BlueFeather posted:Didn't Lionel just do FM C Liners a few years ago? Wonder why they're running them again so soon.
New road names and paint schemes.
With the C-Liners, are they still the 5-axle, or are they now the 4-axle ones?
Not thrilled about b60 Bagage.car pricing 299 and vision 499 per car. Nice cars, the old Weaver tooling,new to Lionel but.. lots of other desirable pieces. Maybe a Jade Green GG1 in Bellevue and Schenectady RR!
I guess I was misunderstood, are any steam or diesel engines in the catalog pennsy?

4-axle
@GAN Railroad posted:I guess I was misunderstood, are any steam or diesel engines in the catalog pennsy?
Yes, C-Liner and Y6B
I'm a semi scale guy but an SAL Q3 mike with the pumps on the front of the boiler would be awfully tempting. They were an NC tradition.
Any Legacy Polar Express locomotives (non-1225 Berk)?

Not that I recalled. I am away from my copy now. Actually I don't recall much in there for Christmas. Though I don't think Volume 2 ever gets that much holiday stuff to begin with.

These will be the freight versions !
As a FM collector I am excited to add these !

4 axle freight !

Just went for a walk and this was in my mailbox.
Gary from Michigan - Hope to see you out rail-fanning. 🚂

why do i always end up in an issue where lionel puts out awesome trains that i can't afford?
catalog goes live in 12 hours
Man, a Y6B has been on my wishlist. But I'm tempted to hold out for a Visionline version.
We'll see how they look in the catalog tomorrow when I get access to it. I can't wait to see this Halloween Hudson!
Well, it’s getting close, the excitement is building, Oh what’s that one thing we must have, soon we’ll know…. Enjoy…Thank you Lionel….
It was in my mailbox today also - my first impression was mostly new items and not repeat vol.1 stuff - nice catalog
Hey Gary ( GAN Railroad ) - lots of Pennsy stuff

New as in new tooling or just different paint schemes and recycled MTH and Weaver tooling?
Another wonderful custom run from Legacy Station! Thunderbirds!
I dont understand why Lionel cant just release it when its ready instead of all the hype and rumors. Pretty annoying some people get a printed copy or a leaked order form. Just release it electronically at once.
I spend way way too much money with Lionel for this drama. This isn't Pokemon. If I wanted excitement I'll jump on a roller coaster and if I had patience, I'd be a Doctor. Knock it off and release it already.
Love the hype and drama - especially if I’m sitting here with a cup of coffee and the new catalog 🤣👍🏼
Go Pennsy 😊🚂

Thats great! Can you post a picture of Conrail 4800?
Last catalog release @Official Lionel Trains posted the link to the catalog so I would assume they will do so again. It's not much longer. I don't think 30 minutes will make or break you.
Other threads announcing the catalog were removed so I suspect it will be the same this time around.
It's up.
Lots of GG1 variations, but no Bicentennial version of Old Rivets, rats.
Carolina offerings are great! Really like the Rainbow-era Amtrak offering. A lot of great diesel options. And for the UP Y6B I'm all in!
The Central Railroad of New Jersey Heavy Mikado is a definite maybe for me. There's never enough CNJ steam out there, and it's not terribly priced.
HOWEVER, I don't think Lionel has fixed the shifting idler gear bug that's been present on the past USRA Mikes yet (as addressed in full here https://ogrforum.com/...es-from-harmon-shops), so...that might be a make or break factor.
The graffiti covered hoppers, Lionscale peak-ended coal hoppers, and American Railroads passenger cars are a welcome addition, as are the Lionmaster J3a Hudsons.
Other than those, not too much else for me.
Looking forward to a N&W Y-6b ... even if it is just Legacy and not Vision!

I know right? Did you hear that rumor too?
@DMASSO posted:Add a Vanderbilt tender to that Mountain and I am in!
We got 2 new haven mountains with vandy tenders and a whole set! Oh dont forget the PA’s with an optional fixed pilot!
While I personally don't model GG1s, I appreciate them for their history in real world railroading as well as in the hobby. For those reasons, I hope that Lionel gets enough orders for all versions--even the Lionel Lines Post War inspired, Penn Central, and Amtrak ones. The Rainbow-era Amtrak cars are calling my name since they have a NP and Big Sky Blue GN car in them and I do model that sweet spot era that includes the James Hill lines just before their merger into BN, as well as the short lived BN passenger service and early Amtrak.
