Here is a small update on which road number is in the front,
4014 followed by 4012. To my surprise 4012 is gaining strength . The guys are ordering 4012 because of the East Coast connection.
Thanks

That subject has been covered many times throughout these various "Big Boy" threads.

 

The 4023 was from the second order of 5 locomotives (4020 thru 4024), and Lionel is making a model that represents the first 20 locomotives (4000 thru 4019).

Thanks, Hot Water

I did not know, Being that there is only 8 left in existence and they are making 7 of them it would have been cool if they included 4023.

There in lies the controversy about exactly WHICH era version UP 4000 class locomotive models will Lionel be making. Many folks have indicated that Lionel informational brochures & statements at York, indicate that the "Big Boy models will be as delivered". However, the UP modernized all of the first 20 4000s to look just like the last five, by about 1947, i.e. those cooling coils on the front pilot deck.

 

Thus, if Lionel really does produce the VL "Big Boy" models to look like 1941 "as delivered", then the models will NOT resemble ANY of the remaining 4000s currently saved & on display.  Your guess is as good as anyone else's, so far.

 

Weird thing is Lionel did make 4023 and 4024 in the previous 2006 JLC production, correctly eliminating the cooling coils on those road numbers and leaving them on the others. One would think they would just bring those back out like the others.

 

I am not in the market for one right now, but if I were ordering one I would probably go for 4006. That number was imprinted in my mind the first time I saw the original 1999 Lionel Big Boy #4006 model.

I hope Lionel will complete the series with 4023, it only makes sense.

 

Hey, All

The Big Boys are selling well and I wanted to let you guys know we will have our Pre-order section for the new Lionel Catalog items on our site by Monday evening. We will be very competitive with our pre-order pricing.

Thanks

Come on 4012!   You can do it!!!

 

You'll also be getting my order for the VL / standard reefers.

 

Thanks!

 

So what is your price on the Cab Forward?

Chris,

 

Whatever that price is, make sure you go with a store that sells it more expensively. 

 

I have another thread  for the Cab Forwards.

Thanks

Pat

It certainly would be nice if the catalog pricing and all could be in one spot rather than multiple threads. It would make it easier to find and easier to communicate questions. 

HELLO, ALL

I have been getting a few phone calls about Free Shipping. When you order on our website the shipping will show on the order, I will remove the shipping and send you a new invoice after the order is placed. Please note the Free shipping is on the Legacy and Vision line Steam engines on our Pre-order list.

Thanks

Pat

Pat,

Do you have a layaway plan? God forbid if all this stuff came in on the same day. How are you working the preorders?

Thanks...

We have a layaway plan that you can start paying for the item now, we actually convert all orders to layaways for this reason. The balance is due when the item arrives. We do not have layaways after the pre-order items come because of the pre-order pricing. We are offering these engines at rock bottom pricing. I am sure the prices of these engine will increase once they have been shipped due to the fact they are made to order.

Thanks

Pat

 

How do we find the shipping schedule for these items: Like I say if I order the VL BB and the Berkshire 1225 and a set of E-8's that is a huge chunk of change due in one hit... but if I could space it out it would be reasonable....

Big Boys are due in DEC.

Berkshires are due Nov.

E-8s are due Oct.

We have the dates on our price sheets.

Thanks

They are due in July

Thanks

Hey, Guys

4012 is making a strong run for first place in sales of the Big Boys. I think the east coast is proud to have one of these giants so close.

Thanks

Pat

WWW.PATSTRAINS.COM

And, that's exactly how it worked!  Simple~!  NO concerns what so ever!

 

Also, gave you my order for the reefers.  The website made it easy to purchase from you all.

 

 

 

Hey, Guys

4012 is making a strong run and is tied with 4014 in sales at this time.

Thanks

Pat

WWW.PATSTRAINS.COM

Come on 4012!!!!!!!!  Run baby, run!

I hope 4012 wins.

Pat

WWW.PATSTRAINS.COM

I think in the end, the 4014 will be the all around champ.  Maybe not on the local level but overall.

 

And if I were Lionel, I would schedule a VL 611 J to be released the same year that the real 611 comes back to the rails.  They would sell a ton!

I wonder if the road number that comes in last place will be the prized collector's item since it will be the fewest units made.

 

Anyway it's nice to see 4006 in a tidy third place. Still have fond memories of that 1999 model. It was a wild new direction for Lionel at the time and to this day it still commands surprisingly hefty prices.

 

A j with blow down and smoking whistle  would be a win.
