HILLSDALE COUNTY 50' box car
A couple of the Railking Union Railroad SW1500's in the McDonald's color scheme instead of waiting for the Atlas Union Railroad MP15DC's that were announced in 1st quarter 2015 and now pushed back to sometime in 2018(if ever). I've had the Atlas matching cabooses for 20 months already.

Rexall was a real train. It toured in 1936 to promote Rexall products.
The AFT GS4 and New Haven PA's for sure.
I'm interested in the green presidential B&O Pacifics(2) and matching cars. Would like to know a little background though. Will try to ask MTH today. They are more appealing to me than the surprise brass Lionel engine because they would be unique and different. I've always liked Pacifics
So far just a BNSF caboose, I was really hoping for Rail King passenger cars Great Northern Big Sky. I'd even switch to premier if they would make them in that. I can't run 21's and that''s all I've seen them in.
I am going to add to my wish list the Nickel Plate SD9.

I am lukewarm on this one. On the one hand, I am glad they do METRA, I like this livery and I like E-units. On the other, however, I don't recall seeing a METRA E-unit in this livery (F-units-yes). When I commuted on the Aurora Subdivision, all the E-units (E9m) were in BN livery with the orange/white high-vis striping on the nose. Maybe I missed one- who knows?

Thanks, Joe! I was commuting on the wrong line. 
The Rock Island GP40 #390 and the SOO Caboose to make a transfer train heading to and from SHOREHAM near St. Paul. MN
The Chesapeake & Ohio Allegheny 1601,
That is located at the Henry Ford Museum • Dearborn, Michigan

I was just reviewing the new MTH 2017 Vol 2 catalog, and noticed a GP40 premier diesel in ROCKY MOUNTAINEER livery on page 109!!! 
YESSS!!! It's only one locomotive... and I would like to have seen another roadnumber too. But hopefully the matching passenger cars won't be too far behind. Wish I had noticed this before York, as I would have inquired with Mike and Andy as to what this single locomotive offering may imply for things to come in future offerings. I mean really.... what good is the single locomotive without the entire train??? 
I've always said the first importer to produce this train would get my dollars for it. 
And it appears MTH may be teasing us a bit with what's in this latest catalog.

The 425 if they would make it more accurate. Can anyone reach out to MTH to correct the Bell placement and headlight. I don't know if they will fix this
Thanks,
Jim
An Illinois Terminal O Scale Premier GP-40? It looks nice, correct number, to bad the IT never had any GP40's. Would have been nice if they had applied the scheme to a GP38-2.
I just preordered the MTH Railking K-4 30-1742-1 from Just Trains in Delaware.
Army Heavyweights. I'll be mixing it into a consist of Weaver and K-Line ones,

Nothing. 
If your taking mth parts out save them so when lionel doesn't make the boards anymore you can put then PS3 back in.
Am disappointed in that Mike and company were not smart enough to produce NS and UP 18" theater cars. Both are the same design!
But ordered the Southern Crescent Limited RPO car.

Ditto, ditto. Just nothing I need, or want....
"If your taking mth parts out save them so when lionel doesn't make the boards anymore you can put then PS3 back in. "
Assume you are joking or perhaps just trolling? Anyway, why would any sensible person take perfectly functional PS3 parts
out of a loco to store them in their basement? Except if you were replacing them with ERR TMCC boards, in which case, your advice
makes little or no sense. Sell those new PS3 boards to someone who will put them to good use. These aren't Egyptian mummies, no?
Because Lionel seems to discontinue parts and boards especially for their engines pretty quickly! That's why. I'd never take PS3 boards out of an engine to put lionel boards in. When the lionel boards go bad you can keep the PS3 boards to put back in, it won't be long lol lol

That would seem like a bad choice to go and compete with Lionel on a niche item like that.

What l got out of this wish book was curiosity...GATX boxcar ? answered above, but what the heck are "Rexall" passenger cars??? Rexall was a kind of drugstore chain. Sears used to sell Marx trains under the Allstate and Happy time labels, but Rexall?
There is a bases for Rexall trains.

The summer 2017 issue of Classic Trains has an article on the Rexall train called "Prescription for Posterity."

First off the Lionel cars are 22" look stupid behind a consist of 18-inchers. Also 22" does NOT look good (IMHO) on any less than O-120.
OH, and the Lionel cars are NOT PROTOTYPICAL to the NS and/or UP theater cars.
Nothing here of great interest ... I'm just moving along.

Simply: No.
The 425 will have the headlight and bell in the correct location. Also we will be producing as and Un-Cataloged item intentionally until the 2018V1 Catalog the 425 in the Current paint scheme.

I'm sorry, could you please rephrase the last part?
Did anyone find out if the new E series will actually have 3/2 trucks as listed???
