Ken,
I don't think the LionMaster Challenger is a LionChief Plus engine.

Art, you are correct its Legacy.
We have until about March 15, 2015 to place an order.
I would never place an order on day one, because I am snowed in.......
Like to get a hard copy first.
So far this list is not ordered, but most likely will be before the deadline. Been wanting a few of these accessories for some time
BNSF ES44AC
Legacy Bucyrus Erie Command Control Crane
Bucyrus Erie Culvert Gondola Car
Culvert Loader
Culvert Un-loader
Undecided, but very likely:
Command Control Crane Car - Road Name un-decided
Command Control Crane Tender - Road Name same as Crane Car
Then possibly the Sawmill and some Light towers. Oops, missed the Log Loader for the possible list.
Pretty good list, MTH may have to sit this year out? They have been cleaning me out the past few years though.

This is actually good advice, Gary. Well, not the snowed in part. 
In 2014, I went a little crazy on Day One and placed some orders that I later regretted. Not a bad idea to have a 'cooling off' period and think about it. And of course there is the issue of pricing. With all these great forum sponsors posting their preorder prices doesn't hurt to shop around.

Ken,
Just didn't want you to be surprised when you received it and look like this

I have on order a set of 18" aluminum passenger cars for the set of Milwaukee Road E-9's I got last year. I like the direction Lionel is taking with the new 21" cars, even though I have not seen the production samples. However, the Kinematic couplers, is a really nice feature.
I listened to the notch 6 podcast, and after learning aluminum cars will not be offered again in the foreseeable future, I'm OK that I ordered those 18" cars. My main concern is that they are LED illuminated.
I have the 18" aluminum passenger cars for my S3 261. I can tell you that it was a long wait, almost 3 years.
I am planning a purchase for the Milwaukee Road Mikado. It compliments the roster of rolling stock I have. Glad to see another run of those this year, and this time with roadname I prefer.
