Nicole, I will do that if they don't clear it up at York. I was hoping that using Talktous would have given me useful information.
Thanks for the idea!
I can see why so many have commented on the Big Boy and Cab Forward Steam Engines. They look great! It seems people have noted wanting a cab forward unit in other past threads, so maybe Lionel was listening.
I am truly a diesel guy and will pass again on all of the steam engines. I love my ES44's and will add a Ferromex. My layout reflects my midwest roots, and I will order my first SD70, one or both of the Kansas City models.
Lastly, a FA-2 AA M-K-T with the FB-2. Those KC models and M-K-T will look good with my BNSF, Friscos and UPs.
A GP35 BN would be acceptable also, but I already have more engines than I can run. I am sure I will pick up some covered gondolas, mow car, and a Lionel stool with a back. Year after year, I have said I would not pick up a PE and I bought one this year. I also said I would not buy a Thomas Train either, however, my grandson has a layout with the PE and Thomas would be a nice addition.
Someone commented that they wish they had 072 track or loop, my whole layout is O72. It is great to have. I am considering another upper loop or extending my point to point track. That is eventually.

So it is confirmed with my LHS, Imperial Trains. The VL Big Boy 4014, the 765 Berk, and the VL PFE cars. Really looking forward to these items especially around Christmas time. If they come in with in a month of Christmas, they'll be tested at Imperial Trains as always and then wrapped and put under the tree.
