I will order the following for sure:
PS-4 flats with Piggybacks
Express Refer set w/sound.
N5B from the coal Hauler set if I can find a break-up.
Santa Fe Map Car set
Area 51 Green liquid car. (RTR Catalog)
I'm on the fence about the E8's in Santa Fe as I want to see them first (or at least a better photo from a pre-production tooling).
3 pack of the PFE refers with freight sounds for sure.
Not sure about the other 3 pack PFE with no sounds (I have to think about that) since there's nothing really special for that price other than it matches up the freight sound 3 pack.
May be a N5b caboose in Pennsy and LIRR.
This definitely was an awesome catalog! I trying very hard to not buy one or more of many Legacy Engines that caught my eye like the VL Big Boy, H7, Y2, S2, E8, F3, or a Legacy Crane and Boom cars...
There is just way too much desirable product than my budget will allow.
Sadly, there was no Stationsounds dinner cars for the Blue Comet and the Southern Crescent. I was really hoping to add that to my roster.
Like Alex said....a GRAND SLAM catalog. I should have negotiated with OGR a little better!!...LOL!!
Alan
Dewey,
I was looking a the Heavy Mikado as well to see if Lionel will follow up with our long awaited Ms-4 Class!! What has me puzzled about this catalog is the Seaboard E8's but no passenger cars and the Southern Passenger cars with no Southern E8's.
I hope that this is just a mistake.
I rationalise that because it's all build to order I must buy now or forever hold my peace.
Already in for a VL BB. Already have the 2005 TMCC AC-12 cab forward BUT if they are re-using its tooling that is no bad thing because it was beautifully made AND now there's whistle steam and Legacy control. Plus, while reasonable minds could certainly differ on this I am probably going for the imaginary Daylight scheme. The catalog does not show how they are painting the tender but this image is in Lionel's online description:
P.S. Whiners and moaners will no doubt complain about the above; so be it. For anyone who does there's a prize for spotting the clanging mistake in the catalog description of this model, which I am not fooled by and so can't complain later!
I don't model or really plan on modeling Southern Pacific, but for whatever reason, the SP H-24-66 just jumped off the page and is demanding that I purchase it.
I want a few things but can't swing everything so for me a NYC Heavy Mike will do it ... I can't wait.... I am going to go to my LHS this weekend and pick up a catalog. When do orders need to be in by?
***Gaaack! Choke!***
Okay, how do I unsee that?

NO WHINING OR RIVET COUNTING ALLOWED, despite the fact that I know you're an expert and there's a devoted SP person on this forum who will no doubt agree with you.
Lionel could have offered this model in an SP gray boiler scheme . . . But I'll be happy with the one above.
What do I NEED? Nothing, of course. What will I order? Well, in spite of Lionel's missing the boat on a Milwaukee Road version of the USRA Heavy Mike, I guess I will be ordering on of the so-called, pilot models. Then I'll have it painted, correctly, may make a change to a detail or two, and have it lettered for the "road". So, instead of $1200 bucks for my Mike, by the time all of the changes are made to correct Lionel, I'm sure I'll have $1500 bucks in it.
Not too much else lights my fire.

NO WHINING OR RIVET COUNTING ALLOWED
Not whining, it was an adverse involuntary reaction. Kinda like when your coffee goes down the wrong pipe.
Besides, Chris' original post never said rivet counting wasn't allowed, only no whining.
But maybe they should also offer it in Cotton Belt?
Cool stuff in the RTR catalog, but I'm not in the market for any more choo choos.
Not a single loco I have to have: first time that has ever happened. But maybe a scale Berkshire - I'm on the fence - if they had it in ATSF or UP, yes, definitely, but I'd have to repaint/re-label it and I have so many projects backed up to do now anyway. And it has occurred to me, particularly since the gold one is only $50 more, how perversely cool it would be to buy that and repaint it in ATSF or UP black.
Wow! What a disappointment. Couple of cool things, but not much for a Midwestern diesel fan.

I's like to find a set break up & pick up the Lobster aquarium car
No whining? And this from a guy who owns his own vineyard. Good thing there is no Napa Wine train in this catalog. Then the catalog would be accused of whining.
I may get some of the new rolling stock that has Kadee coupler pads for 2 rail conversion.
I WANT IT ALL, AND I WANT IT NOW!!!
OK. Back to reality. I will be ordering (For now at least.
) some PFE cars, an NS Tie-Jector, one of the crane sets (I haven't decided which one yet.), an Amtrak Lionchief set, and I just can't resist getting a Cab-Forward, even though it won't run on my sharp curves. 
Then, after I recover from the surgery from selling a few organs, I hope to order a whole lot more. This is a truly great catalogue. 
I am glad that the TMCC cranes are back!
After a quick look.
The Hall Class is a nice surprise. Let's hope the sound package is correctly British and does not include a bell sound. If so it might be a must have.
Legacy Crane.
Scale Berkshire Polar Express with the cars! Maybe....
Lots of nice looking sets in the RTR.
Any one check out the Holiday Memories, wholly cow Lionel Christmas tack overload I may have to go have a little lay down
. Ok they got me, I am in for a Polar Express yard flag

Everyone knows that the Pacific Fright Express was a joint venture between the Union Horrific and the Southern Horrific. None of the reefers ever had the "Be Specific" slogan on them, and even then, it would have been "Be Specific - Ship Union Horrific"
I mean really Lionel, do we have to go to HO to get prototypically accurate Pacific Fright Express reefers?
The L&N Mikado and Southern Railway 18' passenger set.
So far the following and I just scanned the catalog. Very nice catalog
PFE BOX CARS, both sets
PM or NKP Berkshire
UP caboose
absolutely nothing
Yahoo! I've been waiting for Ann Arbor FAs since Lionel first tooled these models up.
And then-- I turn the page and there's the NYC paint scheme I've also been waiting for!

I'm just a grape farmer, the wining is handled by my vintners
I got lucky with road numbers. Will order the 2 Alaska SD70 locomotives. Road #2005 is the City of Girdwood, where my son lives, and the engine I always try to see when in Alaska. For me, that was unbelievable.
LionChief Plus steamers pre-ordered.
American-made stuff - YES!! Keep it coming!

Personally speaking, I would agree. However, from our (LHS) customers' viewpoint here in Meeeshigan, the Ann Arbor FA's are a gift from the train gods!! Kudos to Lionel for getting this long-overdue job done!
(Now, Lionel, DON't go doing something stupid and putting them on the forthcoming cancellation list for this catalog!!!!
)
Of course, as with so many of these flights of fantasy, they could've skipped the FB's for the Annie....they never had any. Now THAT one could be painlessly cancelled, IMHO.
Customers at our store will also enjoy the PM tanker, the DT&I crane/tender, the automotive-related monster cars (several), et al.
Oh, and yes, the PM 1225...just down the road and under steam again!
For moi?.... The ATSF Maps 5-pack...period....thank heavens! ("And lead us not into temptation..."!)
I definitely plan on picking up at least 2 sets of the VL 3 pack PFE reefers (won't bother with the non-sound reefers) and a UP caboose to go with the Big Boy that I preordered. I'm also considering a CSX ES44 or SD70MAC to lash it up to my Motor City Express set and add-on auto racks.
All the FRISCO. Boy we hit a home run on this catalog.
MOW tie injector
3-pak reefer set with sound
and many more items too numerous to mention
Thanks LIONEL.
Whoop, there goes my wallet 
Signature Catalog:
I have the UP Legacy Dash-9's, I'm hoping to do an even swap for the UP ES44AC's
BNSF and CSX gondola's
RTR:
American made Santa Fe, Great Northern, and PRR cars
Santa Fe Reefer 3-pack
Bill
Couldn't find anything that interest me.
Hope they eventually have cars of the 5-car Santa Fe set on breakup. Love that
El Capitan!
Hoppy
AH...but Steve, when you put your "artistic touch" on those 86' Hi-Cube cars, WOW!!
Alan
As I have a very small bucket list of Reading and B&O items that I want to have, I only had casual interest in the 2014 catalog. That said, the pre-order pricing on the CSX ES44AC sure has me thinking about ordering one!
