When you receive your first item that is in the Christmas catalog. I just received my Lionel North Pole Central GP-35 from Ro. It does put me in the mood to think about this coming Christmas and what I might do. It couldn't be better, Christmas in August last week at Lionel's Service Center and today receiving the GP-35.

Very nice , counting the days till the christmas layout go up.
That's a very nice looking locomotive. Enjoy!
Well, I have not hear anything from the Official Proclaimer of Seasons: Daffy!
What a great color combination!
Very nice, lionel sure did a good job on the North Pole central stuff. For a fantasy paint scheme it almost looks prototypical.
I have already committed to hosting one of the stops on the TTOS SP Christmas open house tour.

Must resist the temptation...must resist the temptation...must resist the temptation. 
There was a spot on the Today Show this morning showing some of the big box stores already loading their shelves with Christmas merchandise. So no, according to their marketing guys, you are right in season.
Nice purchase.

Allan you know you're going to get one. I usually don't buy special themed trains but this one just about looks like a must for me. The colors sure have that holiday WOW factor.
Paul,
It is a great looking locomotive!
While seeing a post like this makes me think about this years version of the Christmas Layout, Jerry's post says it all. 
(and Allan's...) 
"darned marketing departments!"
You know Christmas is coming when they take down the Halloween stuff on August 31.
That looks very nice. Resistance is futile! 
I was worried about some of the Lionel delivery dates not having Christmas and other
items in for the end of October when I am in the States. Looks like I needn't worry.
I have said it before..nobody does Christmas tack like Lionel

Very nice looking engine!!!!
Thanks,

Right now it is 91 Degree's in Tampa. Never to early to think about the Christmas
Layout. Great looking engine. I wonder when the first Ralphie sighting will take
place on TV?
Many thanks,
Billy C
I always thought that Lionel hands down, offer the best looking Christmas products. This GP35 brings that tradition to a new high.
Good luck, and many happy years with it Paul.
