I just finished perusing the new Lionel catalog. WOW!! Lots of beautiful new stuff. However I was most impressed with pieces I have already purchased over the years, the 0-8-0, the heavy 4-6-2, the 2-6-6-2, the 2-8-2 and the 0-4-0 and how expensive they are now. The difference must be the Legacy. All of the above mentioned engines in my collection are equipped with TMCC and all were acquired for less than the price of the conventional engines shown in the catalogue. All except the 0-4-0 were purchased retail from dealers. The 0-4-0 was taken in trade from another modeller. The 0-4-0 as pictured in this catalogue is identical to the KLine club engine. The PRR 0-4-0 as shown last year as KLine by Lionel had better detail. Oh, and I did notice that the diesel switchers no longer sported the wagon wheel radio antenna now. All I can say about the cars is that they have some that I would really like to have. I am waiting to get a list of discounts from my LHS. Odd-d
