is there no pricing or is my browser not getting it? rather useless if no pricing like selling a engine without wheels!
I have emailed Lionel asking why no pricing.

Perhaps Lionel is implementing "market pricing". Maybe Howard Hitchcock was savaged by an overpriced Maine lobster somewhere and decided he can do the same thing with Chinese trains. Remember, if you have to ask the price, you probably can't afford it!
Interesting. Must be a glitch.
You can type any of the product numbers into Lionel's search bar and get prices.
Guys, Lionel talked about this at one time... because it is a multi-year catalog, prices are not included because they can change. I believe Lionel commented the purpose of the Track and Power catalog was more to showcase and illustrate the entire track and related accessory line up. Specific prices are in the yearly R-T-R and Signature catalogs.
Remember, Lionel has not always put suggested list prices in the catalogs. Richard Kughn brought the practice back sometime in the mid-1990's.
The track and power catalog hasn't had prices for several years. The prices are found in the other catalogs.
Well I looked in 2016 vol 2 vol 1 Christmas 2016 both catalogs vol 1&2 2015 only 180 power house teamed up with a transformer with handles sold as a set.
reply from Lionel states is separate sale for $99.99 so as before wheres the pricing within a catalog showing that? am I overlooking it?

StPaul,
Lionel's MSRP pricing has become absurd and useless in recent years anyway. So your best bet is to download a pricing guide from Charles Ro, and then you'll have a good indication of everyday street prices. His price guides are about as comprehensive as you'll find, and they can be downloaded as a PDF. Then look for intermediate price guides as new products are announced... for example, the recent Lionel 2016 Vol 2 catalog has its own price guide with Charlie's prices.

ROCKY MOUNTAINEER, thank you will do and yes the msrp not true indicator only reason I asked is if no price usually means no product yet as in unavailable.
