Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the info and the link.[8D]

Thank you Jeff - any idea when the hard copy will be available? Quite a few cartoon items. Like the Amtrak depot “modern” train staion, and glad to see a few doublestacks are available. Now hopefully a Penn Central locomotive comes around to match the PC bay window cabin car.
I HAVE A COPY. Took veggies to my train lady and she gave me a copy. [:D]
Veggies for a Lionel Train Catalog…I think I have heard it all !! [:0] Chief, this winter Spanky and I will send to you some snow and ice. Would you please take it to your train lady and see if you can get us each a new engine of our choosing. I know we both would be in your debt for teaching us the true art of bartering, southern style. [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
Will refuse shipment. [tdn][censored]
Lionel has it up on their website now.
Cool! I’ll have to see if my local train store (which happens to be The Train Station in Tinplate Jeff’s link) has copies available.
Has anyone else noticed this discrepancy in Lionel’s FasTrack pricing? Here’s an example:
O36 45-Degree Curved Track (8 pieces per circle)
Dimensions: 036 45-Degree
(6-12015) $3.49
CURVED Track 4-Pack
FASTRACK Curved track (4-Pack) O36 45-Degree
Dimensions: O36 45-Degree
(6-12033) $14.99
Ummmmmm…wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy four separate O36 curves?
Here’s another:
Inner Passing Loop Add-on Track Pack
Description Qty.
O-36 Curve (6-12015) 2
RH Manual Switch w/Quarter Curve (6-12018) 1
LH Manual Switch w/Quarter Curve (6-12017) 1
Dimensions: Layout: 39 1/2#8221; x 70 1/2#8221; Additional track required:
(6-12028) $69.99
O36 45-Degree Curved Track (8 pieces per circle)
Dimensions: 036 45-Degree
(6-12015) $3.49
Fastrack O36 Manual Switch #8212; Left Hand
Includes 1/4 curve which creates full curve
(6-12017) $29.99
FasTrack O36 Manual Switch #8212; Right Hand
Includes 1/4 curve which creates full curve
Dimensions: Length: 10#8221; Straight, 33 3/4-Degree turnout
(6-12018) $29.99
Let’s see, for $70 I can buy the Track Pack, or for $67 I can buy the separate components…
Man, someone is really not on their toes on this.
Par for the course.
Watch out, there is a TROLL around here that will jump on you for saying such things about Lionel. [;)]
Hey, after having moderated several muscle car forums, and been involved in both Fbody (Camaro & Firebird) and Rutgers Football forums, all I can say is: Bring It On, Babeeee!!! [:D]
DJSpanky,
Really, it’s quite simple.
If you buy the indivual pieces of track, you just get the track.
If you buy a track pack, you get a great Lionel box, and we all know that that will be worth its weight in gold in a few years[:)][:)][:D][:D]
ooooOOOOOooooo, I completely forgot about the collectibility of the Lionel boxes [:P] They’re all the rage on eBay these days…
