I use to go to bed every night with a Lionel cataloge under the covers. Now at 77 I still want that Super Chief set plus some of the new items that I can relate to my business history: WB water tower, Disney and WB theatres,SF Budd car set and Amtrak Acela set. Soon as I get my tax refund I will place my order! All aboard!
Something that I feel like should be pointed out is that the Frisco decapod in the catalog is numbered 1630 That is important because the real Frisco 1630 still survives and is commonly in operation at the Illinois railway museum pulling their passenger trains
Was waiting for your review. Great insights! Ordered the Vision line Fruit growers and stock cars for my Pennsy Class A. Also got that cool Hobo Reefer you reviewed. Wanted to get the Decapod but caved and got the Dreyfus and cars. Thanks for the GREAT review!!!
Thanks for your nice comments and glad you got one of the pens class a's! hold onto that one its going to be a highly sought after! I will be getting the PRR decapod for sure, stock cars and the VL caboose. We'll see what else I pick up after stuff ships.
Imma gonna pre order Decapod 1918. My son was adopted from Russia and I saw 1630 in person with him a few years ago and I’ve always loved his countries locomotive designs.
A nice review and I appreciate your candor regarding some of the prices. A couple clarifications, the bell on the Frisco Decapod is at the very front of the engine’s smoke box, that’s why it doesn’t have a swinging bell. Remotes are no longer included with LionChief Plus engines. O contraire, the 3 inch FasTrack section is “All New” 😂 😂.
So tempting, Thats going to be amazing! Its like the one NYC engine I actually like allot lol Also the lightning strip E8's they did in the past were really nice
I will kick the Sh....t out to muy wallet and I'll do the Big Boy and the Iron Hippo. Hope to do the Dreyfuss later. It Is a GREAT catalog. Lionel did a great job with this one. Best regards from Mexico
The USA locomotive looks more like a Baldwin model, witch is more like the ones in Pennsylvania. I wish they made a -2-8-2 wheel model like the Baldwin model from Philadelphia. The Baldwin model has the headlight at the top of the boiler.
You have to help me convince Brady’s to do a long haul I1 done up like the long haul K4s lionel did a while back as soon as I saw them that was the first fantasy scheme I though of
@@PghTrainFanatic but not with the Tuscan red roof AND the long haul tender like MTH used to do them I think if someone did a custom run like that they’d sell like hot cakes
This new catalog shows how much Lionel has grown and how history has repeated itself, this time the big boy model is the Hudson of 1937, top of the line and out of reach for so many people just like the Hudson was in 1937.
No no. You're completely wrong. The low class is always fooled by themselves. You're the buyer. Your life is different to manufacturers and retail. You must start to take control of your life. They're going to try to distract you from your life. You don't have to buy second quality product. You don't have to buy 1 of each of the mass produce items. Realize Its YOU that's wasting YOUR life. Many people are raving lunatics just wasting your life. Don't look at things from the bottom up. Get to the top and look down on stuff. You will end up with a collection. What does this future collection look like? The scams work year after year. Realize you're not buying enough quantity of trains. You must buy 3 of that 1 expensive train set. Your life just got very expensive. You must buy 1 to use and 1 more as a spare item and 1 more for random situations. If you want to sell 1 in the future you must buy 4 or 5. If 1 set costs $1,000, you're going to spend at least $3,000, just to have a great life with your train. If you want to make back some of the money you've spent, you'll have to buy 5 or 6 trains. Which will cost you $6,000. If you want your hobbies to pay for themselves, you've got to buy 6 of each train.
Well this is from the perspective of the unwise looking up at the higher-up products. You've got the wrong perspective. You don't buy in enough quantity to support yourself. You don't buy in enough quantity to support the factory. Factory production isn't the highest product. Go speak to a professional model train builder and realize factory production is always CHEAP and a comprise from what you actually want. Factories produce a lower ranked product in big quantity. Its NEVER cool to be buying a reduced quality product. Factories produce ultimately a varied set of trains for you which you acquire over a few years. The varied set that you end up with is inferior to a professional model set but its got a greater range. When you go to buy the factory doesn't have the product. Factory production is terrible for you the buyer. Factory production and your life don't match. You bought a catalogue and they failed to have anything for you to buy. Your last in line to buy. Retail has already beaten you and they've bought up all the factory production. You're Waiting around for the smart buyers to sell to you. You're not even preparing to buy. You're just being a lunatic. Make A DECISION in life. Your job is to eliminate waste. 1 of each isn't a collection. 1 of each IS consumption. You're an unwise crazy consumer raving like a lunatic. Make A choice. Buy in enough quantity. actually buy the professional set and don't go backwards in life and don't get distracted buy the lunacy or business conmen. You don't think like a retailler or a factory. You don't live their life. You're a buyer and you live separately to them.

Great thanks for the catalog review
,thank you for reviewing O gauge pages of the catalog. Something more of us may afford. Thanks again!
Thank you!

*pre order the NYC 5454!* I pre ordered two of them, one for running, and one for display in my sealed display case.
Imma gonna pre order Decapod 1918. My son was adopted from Russia and I saw 1630 in person with him a few years ago and I’ve always loved his countries locomotive designs.
I was tempted to get the NYC E8 since 4083 is preserved but its just oo much money same with the PRR i1
That's what they all say and in 20 years you'll have multiple train sets costing way more money.

Lionel: “we have three inch fastrack sections now”
Me: *”I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!”*
I have a New York Central Hudson Lionel from 1943.
joshua woods ❤
Ordered the Dreyfuss 5454 scheme. With the 4 car passenger pack.
So tempting, Thats going to be amazing! Its like the one NYC engine I actually like allot lol Also the lightning strip E8's they did in the past were really nice
@@PghTrainFanatic as soon as I noticed that fantasy version i knew I had to have it!
The prices are ridiculous, who can afford these trains, not me!
I'd have to take a look at that C&O Frieght Set.
I ordered my 4019 Big Boy this morning.
thats awesome! If I didn't have one already i would have ordered one also. i don't need 2 lol
I will kick the Sh....t out to muy wallet and I'll do the Big Boy and the Iron Hippo. Hope to do the Dreyfuss later. It Is a GREAT catalog. Lionel did a great job with this one. Best regards from Mexico
Let me guess the E8&9's ? Only A unit has sound?
The USA locomotive looks more like a Baldwin model, witch is more like the ones in Pennsylvania. I wish they made a -2-8-2 wheel model like the Baldwin model from Philadelphia. The Baldwin model has the headlight at the top of the boiler.
I like legacy Christmas train.
I like that Fezziwig camelback. Colorful!
You have to help me convince Brady’s to do a long haul I1 done up like the long haul K4s lionel did a while back as soon as I saw them that was the first fantasy scheme I though of
The I1's have a long haul option
@@PghTrainFanatic but not with the Tuscan red roof AND the long haul tender like MTH used to do them I think if someone did a custom run like that they’d sell like hot cakes

THE HAND CAR COME with TRACK
I see that now, tube track, 8 pieces and a wind up key so it has a mechanical clock motor, not electric
The 0-60t is a little beast.i have pulled 10+ scale cars with it
Gossip.
I don't listen to gossip.
Stop trying to waste my time.
The 0-6-0t is a literal tank watch RBPs video on his he pulled like 30
Scale freight cars with it no problem lol
Just get the Locomotive and build the rest from your Cars like iam doing Save Money for Other Things😅
Excellent catalog review Nick. I'm going to wait on this one to see if my investments bounce back but it is a nice catalog.
thanks Al, Its a good catalog the prices are getting a bit steep. It will just cause people to order less I think or nothing lol
Wrong.
This video is unwise lunacy gossip.
Its basicly the low class perspective at buying model trains.
@@Gma7788 I know Nick as a friend. He's definitely a class act and very talented. I'm extremely grateful for his friendship.
cool
Lionel is pricing themselves out of a lot of people’s budgets.
Well this is from the perspective of the unwise looking up at the higher-up products.

You're Waiting around for the smart buyers to sell to you.
You're not even preparing to buy.
You're just being a lunatic.
Make A DECISION in life.
Your job is to eliminate waste.
1 of each isn't a collection.
1 of each IS consumption.
You're an unwise crazy consumer raving like a lunatic.
Make A choice.
Buy in enough quantity.
actually buy the professional set and don't go backwards in life and don't get distracted buy the lunacy or business conmen.
You don't think like a retailler or a factory.
You don't live their life.
You're a buyer and you live separately to them.
Jeez look at these prices. Not interested in buying anything new from Lionel.
Makes me glad to be in HO but their prices have gone up too.
Ya no sounds in B unit, Lionel SUCKS!!!!!
