Nassau Hobby Center - Lionel 2014 V2 Catalog CONTEST!

FANTASTIC CONTEST!!!!

I will find something in the new catalog and place an order!!!!

Cool!  Thanks!

Just placed my first-ever order with Charlie.

Question, the AUX tenders on page 68 of the catalog, there is no photo of 6-82395 or statement about it on that page but the letter in the front says the AUX tenders are back in yellow, but on your webpage you say it's black.  So, is it black or yellow?  I'd prefer a black one, aka really really really want a black one, but it's not a deal breaker.

And how can I get a physical copy of the catalog?

sinclair,

According to Charlie, the UN-pictured  AUX Tender is a Black version. He was in direct contact with Lionel when they were trying to finalize which AUX tenders to put out.

Physical copies of the catalog are not out yet, Lionel should be shipping them to dealers, etc, in the next few weeks.

That would be awesome, to get a black one.  I'll have to take your word on it.  When the catalogs get to you, will you be shipping them out to those that place orders?  And what is the projected delivery of the reefer 3 pack?  Those will give me 9 reefers to put behind the BB.

Hmmm. I couldn't find the webpage that should have the 2015 command controlled gantry cranes. I clicked around the Nassau Hobby website until my fingers were raw but couldn't find them. 

But I did see a very cool Frosty The Snowman boxcar that I will order next week.

Can you or Charlie double check something on the S2 Switchers? There is no mention if it will have the IR sensor for the LCS system. Not a deal breaker, but with the big push for LCS it's odd that they skipped this one

In the Notch 6 Webcast, they stated it would not include it as there was not enough room. And their thinking was since it's purpose is a switcher in a yard they did not feel that that would be much of a loss not having the LCS Sensor.

Thanks Gromet. DUH.

Thanks Dennis

As soon as we get catalogs we will include them in any out going orders.

Drawing for orders, very cool idea. That's a good way to increase sales.

Thanks for all the orders gang!

Charlie,

Before I order a GP30 can you find out if lionel will fix the back step problem that occurred in the last run. (SP , ATSF & IC)

Also the new run of PFE reefers have different doors than the last two sets even though lionel acts like they are to go with the two prior sets. Any way to check if that's right?

Thanks

Blue, I wish I could tell you. My advice is to ask or e-mail Mike at Lionel.

Seems like there is a lot of interest in the new catalog. Lots of orders coming in.

Thanks everyone, keep'em commin!

Over 50 entries already!

Charlie,

I sent Mike a email today about the GP-30's. As soon as I hear back I will post his response.

Great

Well, here's hoping that aux tender really is black, my order has been placed.

Well I thought I had dogged a bullet with this catalog offering, but it appears your offering may force me to find "something" I can not live with out.  

When are the GP30s coming out?

Contest is still going.

Don't forget to get your pre-orders in before Oct. 20th for entry into the contest. that Lionel LEGACY Centipede could be yours!!!

I hope it'll be mine.  I placed my order.  I'm trying to collect the 4 locomotives from the PRR 100 years calendar.  I got it hanging on my wall.  I've got the turbine and GG1, so half way there.

Thanks!

I placed my order as well.  It would be nice to win one of those Centipedes.  I also now have the track to support one of these monsters.

Thanks for the order and good luck JPcommons.

Once I get my catalog, I'll get my order placed...and win a Centipede. I found several items that interest me.

Thanks

Can anyone else verify a black version... I have tried. The only answer I have gotten from dealers and Lionel is they will all be yellow. Which is funny because that really does not match the Big Boy they are making as it will be the coal fired WWII era version. Which I ordered and I love don't get me wrong. I have the old 6-11226 Legacy version that is black, it goes well with my vision line Coal fired Challenger. It has a road number of 907853, which from what I can tell is still black and sitting in the Illinois Railway Museum with GTEL 18. This same road number in this catalog is yellow? Anyhow, I would love it if road number 907856 would be black but this is the only place that I have seen evidence that it will be black. I hate to muddy the waters but I need assurance as yellow will just not work for me.

I agree, I am also want assurances that the UP water tender is black before I preorder.   Yellow does not work for me either.

We expect clarification on that soon. I am going by some mockup photos I saw about 3 months ago while Lionel was deciding what to offer. 

I want black as well, so I took a chance and ordered it.  But if it turns out to be yellow instead I'll have to wait until I put it behind my BB and then decide if I'll live with it or sell it off.  Either way I know I've got one coming.  I thought about finding an older one that was black, but then it wouldn't be Legacy like the new one.

Wow... I really hate to spoil your fun on this post but Lionel made two Union Pacific water tenders in Black. The first was PN 6-38007 and was TMCC Control most recent catalog in Vol 1 of the 2001 catalog. The second, I personally own (as stated in my previous post), was PN 6-11226 and was Legacy Control most recent catalog Vol 2 2010. As there is not much to the control of the tender I'm not sure what you really would be missing accept for maybe lash ups (which I never do) and sound quality. Maybe someone else can answer that. I do not claim to be an expert. Mine is essentially a boxcar that looks pretty. But I do know you can in fact buy a Legacy Union Pacific water tender in black. You will pay a pretty penny as Black with Legacy control is the most difficult to find, which makes its disappearance from the roster even more amazing. I'm thinking of buying yellow and repainting black. It may be cheaper than trying to find another 6-11226. I would have to renumber anyways.
