Well I didn't get some of the picks but I will wait and see the Lionel Catalog on line as well as the hard copy. Do far my only order is the Hybrid 4-4-0. I have an RGS per switcher but the decor is wrong. The Lionel version.is correct for the B8 "stand in" but far from being any B8 that for sure! I have the Conrail- SD38 already.
Not a thing.
No orders, but I will pick this up when it shows up at the dealers. A TMCC docksider with good sound, fan driven smoke, four chuffs, cruise control, electrocouplers, etc. for $249.99 MSRP looks pretty good.
One GHW Bush 60' boxcar.

It did.
I may actually have to break down and get a Big Boy this time. Much as I would like the 4005 (duh), it will probably be 4014, as my rule for steam is, I have to have seen it under steam, in the Twin Cities. Probably going to have to modify a few spots on the layout to be able to run it. The layout was designed before anyone made a Big Boy.
Gotta keep working on my excursion set, and the Experience baggage car. The Amtrak camera dome is a must have. It'll go great with my rainbow Empire Builder. It'll be a game time decision on the GN / BN F7's and the B unit. They are pretty, two of my favorite colors.
No freight this time, but I have plenty of that.
For me this catalog is high buck low volume. To each his own.
Santa Fe shadowlined passenger set and Santa Fe Alco S-4 switcher.
I ordered a GG1, flat spot box car, and a Ford Alco S-2 switcher.

The Cotton Belt F7's will be #1 on my order form
Just for the heck of it - I was curious - I looked up the Frisco 4-8-4's in Collias' book Frisco Power, to find out that only 3 of these locos were indeed oil-burners - 4500, 4501, 4502. You probably already know that.
Four 4-8-4's were preserved, per the book, and, oddly, 2 of them were oil-burners (4500 and 4501), and, to make matters more annoying, 4524 is indeed preserved, but it's a coal-burner.
Oh, well - the model is of an ATSF 4-8-4 and tender anyway. How accurate could the "Frisco" version be?
The only thing I might order is the Amtrak Vista Dome with the Camera. Other than that, I don't seen anything I would want.
Today neither LHS (FFAHS-far, far, away hobby shop, had catalog..one was closed, other had stacks back into 2017 but not this one). When is catalog "legally" available? Gotta see to buy, and then, it has to be of interest. I' rather go through it in shop than take an expensive one home with nothing in it.

Me too! Looks close enough to "scale" for me too.

I'm in for 2 of the 0-6-0T and sound boxcars, at least 3 of them. Would have been interested in adding another 4-6-6T if they were closer to 650 or even 700.00. But not at such a ridiculous increase using K Line molds.
Some things from a combination of NYC/New Haven/GN/BN. Probably those munchkin sized NYC passenger cars just because they are cute.
Nothing for me I’m at the point that I don’t need anything.
Maybe the Ford 50' Boxcar and most likely that's all.
Are the B & O cabooses smokers ? I didn't see it in the description but would purchase if they are.
rpmcobra posted:Are the B & O cabooses smokers ? I didn't see it in the description but would purchase if they are.
They don't smoke.
I think my top choices are the Union Pacific #4141 SD70ACE and the Union Pacific #4141 60' Flag Boxcar. After that I will strongly consider the Youngstown S-2 and Penn Central Flat Spot Freightsounds PS1 Boxcar. I'll have to wait and see but I like the Chessie System l12 Caboose.
If I had more money than I knew what to do with:
US Army Transportation Corps #1945 4-6-6T
Florida East Coast #105 SD70ACE
Penn Central F7 AA Set

Yes All of the engines I am most interested in besides the Cotton Belt F7's (already ordered) are sort of fantasy's.
Frisco 4500 "Meteor" The engine is fairly close and it was an oil burner but that flat top tender just does not look good.
Frisco 4524 was a coal burner
Missouri Pacific 2202 was a coal burner
Rock Island 5100 is kind of a mix between 5000 class (tender - I have pics of 5051 and 5049 with a similar oil tender) but the engine looks more like the 5100 class.
I already suggested to Ryan why not use the tender from the C&O T1 in the last catalog. That would basically fix the Mopac engine easily, Frisco 4524 - although the top of the tender did not have sloped sides and the 4500 would look much more correct. Just take the coal load out and add some plates and call it new tooling on the cheap. 4500 would then be a winner.
They did this sort of with the EM-1's in the catalog (mixing up the tenders) But only me suggesting these things will not get this done - need others to suggest it. I would go for all 4 if they did some simple fixes.
The NS OCS has my attention, and it looks like the new executive cars will be the proper color and slightly different from the previously released cars..will be curious to see if they have the high gloss finish as well. I also really like the Alaska set!
After seeing the catalog the only thing that got my attention was the one or two of the sound cars.
Dave
Nothing. I'm not wasting my money......
I don't plan on ordering anything from the catalog. But to be fair, there is very little that I need to have, so it would have to be a real special item for me to pre-order.
I think the re-release of the I-12 cabeese will be a hit, as the ones from the original release go for a lot more than the original asking price on eBay. I have a B&O one that I like very much!
I was shocked at the price for the 2-pack 18" ATSF heavy weight sets! 
A two-car set lists for $400!!! Even with the highly discounted pre-order price, the price is $290. I purchased a NOS coach from the original release at this past York for less than $80, and I kick myself for not buying the baggage car as well!
Jim
Probably a B&O I12 cabin car, the 1955 - 1965 version; especially if it is easy to convert to two-rail. I had a brass one (Max Gray, I think) that I traded to a friend for a CLW SD40, now I wish that I had not. I also would like to get the baggage car with Bush's casket displayed but that may only be available in the funeral train set. I pre-ordered the MTH 4141 in two-rail and the MTH baggage car but it is only 72' car, the Lionel one seems to be an 85' car.
I'm ordering the NYC 4-6-6T

Nothing jumps out at me. Not sure how many big boys and em-1 s we need. But I guess it’s too expensive for something really new to be tooled anymore. I’d really like to see something that has not been done by Lionel before or something really new. Also no operating accessories which I love. But it still has lots of stuff for people that missed them before. So pretty good vol 2 catalog.
Maybe a couple of PFE reefers. Unless something is pretty special to us, we have about what we need.

It will be interesting to see I have all the cars on order. I know the theater car was a little too red, but would be nice if they match. I would also like to see the F units numbered 270,271,275, & 276, regardless I’m still getting them.

Notch 6 podcast Ryan knuckle says they will probably rerun theater car, cause new ocs cars will be darker and not match.
LC+ 2.0 Tank Engine B.E.D.T. #15 is a must have for me. Arnold

Just listened to the podcast answered both my questions. Only thing I wonder now is will the Norfolk Southern cars that are in the 2019 catalog with 611 be the darker shade of red. One would think.

The hep equipment on the roof looks wrong too on the ocs, it's supposed to be two mufflers up there, looks nothing like mufflers to me.
I will be ordering Bush 4141 funeral train set, the UP 9096, UP 1111 ,and the Ford auto parts boxcar.
The legacy frico meteor
Really interested in 4-6-6T, especially since its on my list of must get engines!
Leaning towards B&A, but NYC, New Haven, and U.S. Army are all also very enticing. GAH!!
Lou1985 posted:Nothing. I'm still waiting on my SFRD freight sounds refrigerator from 2018 V2, REA baggage car from 2019 V1, and a Santa Fe R50B refrigerator from MTH 2019 V1.
I'd like an ATSF 3751 class Northern, but I lack the cash necessary for purchase.
After looking at the full catalog this still stands. Nothing I would like to order I can afford, so no preorders for me.
I am looking at the 0-6-0 Pennsylvania tank engine.
the PRR 21" car and a few freight cars.
This is a great catalog with probably the best toy train catalog cover ... ever. I like what Lionel is doing with the product line.
A quick first pass through the catalog and I've found that "I need" (and will order) the Cotton Belt ABBA (beautiful black widow set), the SP S-4, and probably the SP and Santa Fe Disconnect sets. More, later, I suspect. 
Nothing for me as a pre order. I just have too much from Volume 1 on order. I do like the NS Business units but again my $$ went to the first catalog. I like the PRR disconnect passenger cars.
I really like this catalog though. I think they did a great job for a second catalog of the year!
