The 150th commemorative set,  all the Halloween items (plus the Halloween Legacy RS-11 #13).  SP trackmobile + freight + SP boxcar with sounds.  Spy v. Spy.  A few trackside things.

Opps.  More than I can fit in the train room.    Oh, well.

A great catalog.  

I spent the day trying to find the part number to order the LC+ 2.0 Southern Berkshire #2716 that Ryan Kunkle has been talking about in multiple FB live shows and podcasts.   Nothing online.   Lionel doesn't know and couldn't get ahold of Ryan.   Nothing at Trainworld, Nassau, Legacy, or even Charles Ro that I called.   They aint gonna sell many if they don't get out the part number.   Ryan said that they "FORGOT" to put it in the catalog but it is the 5th of 5 prototypical Berkshires that are being built now.  Asked Dave Olson via PM but no response yet.   

Plan to order a bunch of stuff when I figure that out.

Its was never in the catalog. Maybe he "miss -spoke" or was referring to a future offering.

Nothing, I don’t run all the stuff I already have. Plus, if I go to my shelves, I find stuff I forgot I had and it’s just like getting a new train without the $1000 price tag.

2019 Christmas boxcar. My wife and I started getting one as a tradition. I will need a larger layout under the tree at this rate! 

BNSF ES44ac been looking for one for a long time now and the day catalog was released and I saw they were making them I went and ordered. May order the UP 5000th evo locomotive also haven't decided yet.

Nothing. 

The BNSF Oil Train Set

               AND

The SF Golden Bonnet Set

I pre-ordered the LC+ 2.0 Polar Express Berkshire.

I loved this catalog...  i ordered a 5452 hudson, and KCS, DRGW, CBQ, and DMIR 2-10-4's and a pair of UP ES44s...

Also ordered the Area 51 trackmobile complete with man in black engineer figure to support my area 51 layout.

I ordered the SP Overnight sounds box car for my SP express Night train.  Also will probably add the great PRR and WP sound box cars too...

I got a few tank flat cars (both numbers of UP, and SP to start a western 1944 military train, some cabooses and some 30k tank cars to lengthen the ethanol tank train.

Naturally also ordered the UP excursion 2 pack of pass cars...

I will add to this and have some last minute things i am deciding on too...  still deciding on a J, bipolar or some passenger cars...

 I got seriously sick two weeks ago and put the damper on my orders.  So hoping to add some more before deadline...

Same here.

I will pay the high price only if someone comes out with a new type box car model that hasn't been offered in O yet.

The J3A at top of page with white tires and the 604 with dog house. Might be my last big order given that I am running out shelf space.

Didn't place yet, but the items that stick in my mind that will likely be in the final order:

• Looney Tunes Boxcars (3)
• Looney Tunes Pepe and Penelope Chase Gondola

-Dave

I agree with Dave: the Looney Tunes cars are a must have!

I ordered several things (pictured below)! This recent catalog was just too good, lol! I really want to get the Santa Fe Gold Bonnet Set as well, although I’m probably just gonna wait until after it comes out...

How true! I was recently moving stuff from one cabinet to another in my garage and I found a whole shelf of new trains that I forgot buying. Probably stuff from a forgotten Greenburg show.

He went in to pretty good detail and said it was being made now.  I even went back and found what he said it a couple FB lives and on Notch 6.      Said they FORGOT to put it in the catalog.      I sure hope what he said is true.   Its the one thing I wanted the most!!  

Jim 

Nothing: My railroad doesn't need anything and I am running out of storage space.

Nut 'n Honey.

However, that is what I had for breakfast. 

I ordered an Army flatcar w/tank so far, been eyeballing the FA's

As I said (way) above, I ordered quite a bit from this catalog - more than in the recent past.  Just too many good trains to add to the collection.

Speaking of good trains ... I don't see how anyone born in the '40s, '50s, or even '60s, could pass up the Spy v. Spy boxcar.  What a hoot - and a memory.  

BNSF Oil Train set and 3 car add-on pack.

I was born during one of those decades and could not care less about a Spy v. Spy boxcar.  

I ordered nothing from the catalog, I did however order an uncatalogued J3a Hudson from Pat's Trains.  Depending upon availability, (limited production) the 15th Anniversary PE set is a possible purchase once delivered to retailers.

Way more then I should have   

Just ordered the Texas Special AA set with the matching B unit today, always loved the look.  Now I just have to get some passenger cars.  MY LHS has the same pricing as the big dealers.  Yea I will pay sales tax, but I can see it and make sure it works before I take it home.

Nothing.  First year in the hobby last year and preorder was a disaster.  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.

Issue resolved!   Lionel contacted me with the part # for the LC+2.0 Southern engine!    Now to get someone to order it for me!

Jim

I stand corrected Jim! 

Best part is, this will be a real collectors item if your the only one who gets one LOL! 

Kodachrome Santa Fe GP35's.

Tsk.  Tsk.  Too bad.  You should have read more broadly when you were a kid.

Didn't care much for Spy vs. Spy.

But, I always looked forward to anything illustrated by the great Mort Drucker::

A brief tutorial: here.

I knew I remembered seeing some animated shorts of these guys, was probably the Mad TV reference from the mid 90's on the Wikipedia page.

Back to topic, I ended up formalizing my order for pretty much what I suggested I might earlier in the thread.  Decided to go with the LIRR bicentennial custom run C-420 from Nassau Hobby.

-Dave

I did also just order the Lionel greyhound ES44...  it will be cool looking...  also a few more cars and the N&W 603 freight J...

I just got my order in before the cutoff!

"Spirit of Roanoke" #611 with tool car, 21" private car 2 packs A & B and Stationsounds dome car!

I ordered the WWII commemorative cars--"kiss the war goodbye," "Liberty ships," and "M4 Sherman tanks." Also ordered the "war bonds trolley." That makes it everything on page 138.

I see many ordered Hudsons. I thought about it, but I prefer the J1 class. I'll wait until Lionel does a Legacy Dreyfuss Hudson in 1938 livery to get a J3 class.
