For me it will be the rest of the PWC sets, the WP and UP Sd70;s heritage, and Since it would be my first ever KLINE Purchase, (Lionel only kind of guy) I will probably go for the entire circus train. The last time Kline made them, they made those awesome old Madison cars and Aluminum cars decorated for the circus. I need a circus train, so this should be a good thing,
I wish Lionel would make a Hogwarts Express. But they probably won’t. If they do then they’ll probably use a Scarlet 4-4-2 Atlantic and Streamlined Passenger Cars. Ha. Lets see how well that sells.
I would love a Lionel Hogwarts like the one in the movie, but the chances are slim. Shame isn’t it.
I saw several things. I was impressed with the K-Line offerings. No big deal scale stuff like the K4 and ATSF Coffin Heater Berkshire as I call it, but there is some nice stuff.
Lionel
Southern 2718 Berkshire, Maybe and 0-4-0 or Mikado (More Likely an 0-4-0), Some Freight Cars and maybe the NYC Freight Expansion Pack.
K-line by Lionel
Southern 2-8-2, Southern 4 car freight set, Southern States Boxcar Set, some other freight cars
In the new CTT I got in the mail today I saw in the Product Anoucments as Basset Lowke 4-4-0 for $390. Its a beuty. I might shell out for that around Christmas time if I can. The green LNER is great. But it is also being offered in LMS Maroon. I’ll go for the LMS.
I still have to get 4-car Williams Santa Fe Luxury Lines Set, and maybe the 2 car add on pack. I even comtemplated buying an MTH Royal Hudson or even a MTH C&O Streamlined Hudson before Justrains runs out. I’ll proably suprise myself with that for my Birthday if I have enough by then. If not then the passenger cars.
Cheese
I need a better job. Bi Lo is looking pretty good right now.
The WHOLE CATALOG!!![;)] Just kidding. I really like jaabat’s choice of the Santa Fe F3, especially since it is that good of a price for a scale sized, highly detailed engine. I like John O’s choice of the NYC GP7, but my favorite would have to be the NYC Sharknose Diesels. I love the look of them. Also, the CSX SD40-2 Intermodal set is a beauty. Once I get my job, I can get the stuff I want.
tmcc man: I see from your post you are a PRR man. I am a PRR steam era modeler. I was hoping for a PRR O scale decapod in this catalog, but I figure that I will have to wait for a long while. Perhaps in the next offering.
I was somewhat interested in the k-line offset 2 bay hoppers but they are diecast and I do not want to pull 6 of those with other cars because of the weight. I have looked at the RMT cars but I don’t know if they are 027 or o scale. For now, I will wait, but that ABA set of Santa Fe F7s is sweet.
I’d like to see Lionel produce the Hogwart’s Express. I think it would be popular here and also overseas if Lionel chose to market and sell it there.
Colin, the F3 is very nicely detailed, and for that price? No brainer, even though I already have a Santa Fe F3 AA set (Williams) and a Lionel Santa Fe FT. I guess I’m a warbonnet man. And I’m hoping to win those post war beauties from CTT.
I’d really, really like one of the K-Line conventional controlled semi-scale Hudsons (page 6), but a $399? That’s pretty steep for a conventional locomotive!
Just checked out the new Lionel/K-Line catalog online and not needing any locomotive power right now I am going to order K-Line’s Super Streets track for my hand cars to run on and possibly a trolly.
