View the Lionel catalog on Nassau Hobbies Website!

It looks like I am in for the Cass Scenic RR Heisler 6-82813.

Their GP9 game is on point!  If only I had the $$ to snatch a few of these up.  

theres no sets in this catalog?

Charles Ro -- usually pretty reliable with dates -- has FTs arriving 11/10/15.

theres no sets in this catalog?

No new sets but the HSO (Hobby Shop Only) sets are featured in there.

Considering all the Heislers, did I miss a bunch of log cars to go with them? 

I saw the 5 road specific single flats with wood (looked like planks maybe?), but no skeleton cars or flats w/logs.  Also the Logging Disconnect cars (I need to learn what that is - looks like a log mounted to 2 trucks maybe?)

No log cars as of yet.....

Dave,

They have Logging Disconnect cars and Flats with Lumber Loads in this catalog. Pages 42 & 43.

We have them up for Pre-Order: http://www.nassauhobby.com/O-S...OLLING-STOCK/?page=5

Enjoy!

My mistake, I have to look better. Thanks Gromet!

When does the pre-order window close?  I need to know how long I have to talk my wife into letting me get a 2-8-0 and a Heisler.

Sinclair, we should have that info up shortly

No mistake.  I perhaps wasn't clear enough that I did see the 5 flats with wood and also the Disconnect 2 pack and single (which actually do seem to have logs by necessity, otherwise it would just be 2 trucks rolling down the layout ).

It seems really odd, especially for what I am pretty sure are new roadname Heislers (Kinzua Pines, Mount Rainier, St Regis Paper) to not have any named rolling stock listed with them.  I looked under passenger cars also for the scenic roads, but doesn't seem like there is anything there either.

What I was looking for was either skeletons or flats with LOGS (where there is a roadname/number on each car). Like when Lionel used to offer 3 packs of each across a few catalogs with Shays or Heislers. 

It was first flats with logs for the shays, going all the way back to the 1992 one, then the skeleton cars that eventually came out, probably in the early 2000's.  More recent engines (like 2 truck Shays) have only had the skeletons, no sets of flats like I am describing have come out for years, I don't think.

I haven't seen a close up of the Disconnect cars, but being it's just a single unit and a 2 pack, it wouldn't seem to have any roadname associated with them (and it looks like there would be no place for it).  These look like they might be interesting, so maybe I will go for a set of the 3.  I may even go for the flats with wood for any roadnames where I have a previous engine.

Thanks David

Thanks Charlie, I appreciate your web site for ordering.  I preordered the LC/LC+ universal remote.

Thanks Ken! PRR I will ask Gromet, I'm on the west coast for awhile

Thanks for posting this catalog.  I will wait until I can get greasy thumbprints on a

paper version to more closely study the Rock Island Passenger two-pak,  That might

force me to get an EMD AB6 diesel to pull it with...naw..never happen, will never be

made. 

Charlie, Maybe you have the inside dope on this:

North Pole Central Rotary Snowplow *Pre-Order*         

Tommy I will forward this question to Lionel

I would really like to order a Consolidation locomotive, likely a UP, but I would sure like to know for sure if it going to have the whistle steam feature before I order. Anyway to find out? Thanks!

Well, if you believe the catalog, the Consolidations have the whistle-steam banner on Pg34.  And I have a feeling if you ask Lionel, that's all they'll tell you as well.  It would be nice if a product manager would speak with authority on these issues, but that seldom seems to happen... (i.e., think back to when we asked if the Lionel CZ observation car would have a dome.)

In this case, I'd certainly hope if the catalog highlighted that feature, the locomotive would be produced with it.  But Lionel is also protected by the legal "wiggle words" in the back of the catalog:  "Items depicted in this catalog are subject to change in price, color, size, design and availability.  Verify product features on package."  

Certainly doesn't help all that much in today's BTO era.    But it's as good as we're gonna get until the shipping container arrives Stateside.

David

Yea but the Lima Berkshire also said it had whistle steam in the catalog.  That's one reason why I ordered it, but it didn't.

Yes... I recall that, Doug.  I think Lionel and its dealers are still trying to unload those locomotives -- despite blow-out prices.  So hopefully, Lionel learned a lesson on that misstep.

David

I will likely order the B&M milk car.  Would order two if they came in more than one road number.  Does anyone know if it will come in more than one road number?  Catalog doesn't say so I assume it doesn't.

Jim, I would say one road number for the milk cars, that's the usual way for Lionel

as opposed to MTH who will do two road numbers. When Lionel offers multiple

road numbers they sell it as a set.

You are correct

SD-60 911 is a big seller!

I'll ask tomorrow

Just placed my preorder i love those first responder diesels thanks for the great pricing.

It is selling like crazy!

Hi Charlie,  Any word back from lionel concerning 6-81441 and if it is indeed the NPC paint scheme?

Thanks!

OK, I realize this is a low volume low profit item (6-81441), but really, isn't it something that can/should be clarified when expecting people to preorder sight unseen?   Its pretty obvious the photo does not match the description and I have no desire to deviate from the NPC line.

Tommy, sorry for the delay I was on vacation.

From Lionel,

“North Pole Express” underneath the cab, on the frame. “Santa’s Snowplow” (on the hood).

Logo is N P E

Never having pre-ordered (did with you a few weeks ago) from a Lionel catalog before when are these items supposed to be available to the market? This is a new experience for me.

Thanks,

Butch

If the info isn't on our web site you can find it on Lionel's Butch

I searched this thread and didn't see it.

Is the date imminent (like this Friday or maybe a week or 2 away)?  I know it is before York.

Thanks.
