New 2014 Vol. 2 Lionel Catalog

Interesting that there will be a new BTO engine. Looking fwd to seeing it

 

I am embarrassed to ask, but what are "assy's"? -- and please don't make me the butt of any jokes. Let's leave those behind. I just hope this thread doesn't go in the toilet. Thanks!

accessories

Terrence L,

I think Charlie means accessories .

Speaking of the new catalog, we'll be offering another special episode of Notch 6 to compliment the new catalog. Matt Ashba and Mike Reagan will join me to discuss the new products in this Volume II catalog. You'll get an in depth look at these new products as well as details that you won't find in the catalog. The show will go live at the same time as the catalog on Sept 10th. We encourage everyone listen to the show while flipping through the catalog at Lionel.com. Then after you're done, go order your items from your favorite OGR Sponsor and Authorized Lionel Dealer.

Charlie, thanks for the info.  Can't wait to see the operating accessories that Lionel catalogs.

 

Derek, I'm looking forward to the next podcast.

Can't wait to see the Operating Accessories!

Terry,

 

I work with Japanese Service Manuals and ASSY is a commonly used abbreviation for Assembly. I never cared for it and always change it to the full word instead of the abbreviation.

 

It's just one of those things that never sounds correct in using, and I am not trying to Politically Correct, just Morally Correct!

Does lionel send free paper copies of the catalogue out?

Since in another thread you appointed me as Notch 6 proofreader, I should point out that is it Mike REAGAN, not Regan

See Chris, this is why I count on you! Consider your pay doubled.

Any chance there is a LIRR C-420?

Hi Ron,

 

If anyone knows, they're not or should not be telling. Lionel has really tightened down the screws on the folks with advance knowledge of the catalog. Lionel wants to keep it a surprise and rightfully so. There is something fun about waiting for one big reveal instead of these slow leaks.

are you a member of the lcca or the lrrc?

 

then no.

 

but if you buy from a OGR sponsor they usually send out catalogs.

interesting way to abbreviate accessories and assembly.

or

 

assembly

I wonder if the long awaited 37821 operating smoke fluid loader is one of the accessories.  It is listed as an October 2014 delivery date on the shipping schedule.

Probably not going to see another c-420 for a while considering one came out pretty recently

Ditto on the accessories.

 

Would love to see some remakes of some of the classics.

The anticipation of a new catalog is always great fun. Providing leaks would take this away. The 10th, not so far into the future. I can wait.

I hope there are new accessories.I don't want any remakes. More items like the coal tipple or the intermodale crane would be great. Maybe some new shop accessories.

And within minutes of the catalog being put up, there will be praise, disappointment or criticism expressed, while speculation and wants for 2015V1 will appear...

 

Rusty

My guess is will be seeing alot more LionChief Plus engines.

Thinking back to the 2013 Fall catalog, maybe some more weathered engines ?

Amazing 

 

I am assuming one catalog for all the O scale offerings and an S gauge section?

 

Rich

One catalog

Thanks for the update Charlie.  Can you give some background as to what "extended line" means?  Is it previously released accessories that are being re-released &/or improved (having its product life extended or possibly enhanced w/ command control activation) or is it just an innocent description?

Probably an innocent description.

 

As in "they haven't really done squat for accessories in many years now", so it's "extended".

 

-Dave

Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to seeing it!

 

Well I am hoping for something new and exciting for the LIONELVILLE line of accessory buildings. 

Since I mainly run and collect operating cars and accessories, I'll be looking forward to this.

Hopefully they'll work in conventional mode.

A Bachman Turner Overdrive engine  I love it  Aint seen nothing yet

More Built-to-Order, now I am wonder what that could be. The GP30s have not been made in very many railroad schemes.

Lionel is clearly Taking Care of Business.  

 

AS soon as we get catalogs, usally a week after the launch on line we slip them in out going orders and you are welcome to stop in and pick up a "FREE" copy by just using the secret code word "Ed Boyle" as always!

 

Sorry Rich and the rest but we know who the real boss is at OGR! :-)

I have to get my hands on one. I love looking at the new products

Yes, to the several organizations/members noted in the responses.

 

But we (LHS) as well as other brick/mortar shops...like Charlie at Nassau...have a FREE copy for you if you stop in...and after our supply is received.  Usually we get one advanced copy for the store and customers are welcome to page through it at the counter.  Long ago we would mail out copies to our Lionel customers-of-record, but the USPS took care of that....too much $$$, damaged handling, 'lost' copies, low priority late deliveries, etc., etc.,etc.. 

 

Besides, it's a chance to chat, buy, pre-order, ....bellyache....whatever!

 

Hey, FREE is good!  An excuse to visit your LHS?.....even better!!

I'm hoping for a Legacy Pilot Model PRR T-1 4-4-4-4, and a Legacy Pilot NYC Niagara in the 

2015 V1 catalogue - or the other way around; doesn't matter.

 

Just so they come along. I'm not buying new big steamers these days, as there are so many nice, reasonably-priced NIB/Used ones out there (and the fact that I simply have

too many) - but the unpainted Pilot Models do ring my bell quite nicely.

Yes... They've been LONG overdue.  I almost want to say the last ones produced came out of the 2007 catalogs... which would have been 2008 deliveries.  

 

The good news is that Lionel has catalog'd one for the upcoming Neil Young Signature series 15" cars.  The bad news though is Lionel can't seem to deliver any aluminum passenger cars on schedule these days, and there's close to a dozen sets that have been catalog'd in the last year or so.
