I bought some Lionel stuff, is that panic buying?

Sorry, they're in my will; they go to my cousin, who is mostly into G scale. Thanks (?) anyway...
By the way, just wanted to say thank you to all who are posting on this thread. I get a commission on the number of posts, paid in pixels....
To my surprise, I just received an email that 4 axle and 6 axle diesel Hi-rail wheel sets have been shipped to me. I placed a pre-order thinking that it was a long shot. IOW, I didn't think MTH would actually deliver. I don't have a need for these now, but bought one of each in case I come across NOS or used scale diesels that I may want.
Last year, I bought one of MTH's 2900-series ATSF Northerns, the heaviest of its type ever built if my sources are correct.
But I never considered what sort of train I'd assign to it. Looking at a Wikipedia page for one of its representatives just now, I see it was built as a fast freight/passenger engine. Before that, I thought it would be nice to have a full set of MTH's ATSF "stainless-plated" passenger cars, which appeared in the catalog before last. I still do.
Looking through my short list of dealers that I have accounts with, I found one with all ten cars listed, with a September 2020 release date. Was about to pull the trigger when I thought to look them up on MTH's site and saw that the ship date had been moved to January 2021. Well, that takes the pressure off for a little while....(unless GGD's Viewliners ship on-time )
Direct answer to the question: a pair of UP SD70's joined my roster that I hadn't considered, two that were involved in 4014's return to life. I may have mentioned that earlier in the thread.

Will anyone be willing to panic buy my non GG1 PRR electrics? P5a Modified, DD1, BB1.
Don't touch my GG1's though!

If I didn't just go in for an R40 Subway, I'd take the DD1.

As always: depends on price, condition, and S&H. I wish you said something sooner before I went out and got some engines and passenger car sets!
And I am right there with you on the GG1's, they will have to be taken from my cold, dead hands! haha!

It seems to me there are a lot more MTH products showing up on the OGR For Sale forum than I remember in the past. I dont look at ebay or any where else.
Anyone else agree, or is it just my imagination, running away with me ?
You can still find Weaver Products, it's been several years since Weaver closed the doors and sold most everything.
