Lionel's New Catalog: Predictions?

We are only 3 days away, from seeing a new direction for LionChief Plus, is my prediction.

Is there anyone else having technical issues when trying to view any of Lionel's catalogs online? It didn't use to be a problem...

Hi Jon - I just ran a test with my MacBook Pro, using OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11 / I tested the ones you see below and they all work. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Gary, but I have a POS PC, my last may I add.

Well besides the predictable "Trains" and "Same stuff , higher prices" answers you are sure to get I'm hoping for the following...

Geez my prediction is coming true.

I admit that I thought it too. 

Now my real hope and what is in my budget this year will be the sensor car. I think these will add greatly to the fun value of the non IR engines we all have.

My sarcastic suggestion is having a mint car full of defective smoke motors.........

Come on Jeff... let's get serious here. What in heaven's name would a bunch of "defective smoke motors" be doing in a Mint Car??? Now as a realistic load in a scale New York Central gondola, I'd order one!!!  

Love the Rocky Mountineer - would definitely be all aboard for one of those!

maybe some more personalized boxcars like the Holiday ones offered last year ?

saw these items on lionelstore.com today

Yes... The last time Lionel ran those (a couple of years ago, which was just before Lionel's formal BTO program), I think they had 4 or 5 roadnames, each with 2 road-numbers. And they disappeared rather quickly. Although lots of folks like more modern equipment nowadays, I still hold a sentimental spot for FM's. They're my most favorite post-war style diesel.

I am still hoping they do the B&O version, I understand they can change the window from square to oval.

Since it's only a few hours away... there will be as much talk about prices as talk about the trains.

I will wait until I had my first cup of coffee before I even think of looking at the catalog or open the email bombardment on BTO prices and dates. Maybe even wait until I get home from work.

I have a solid feeling about F40PHs in new tooling. Also the return of H16-44s.
