I think you missed out on having those 2 Delaware and Hudson SD45s that were offered in the catalog Many of us younger viewers recognize those as "Buster" from the I Love Toy Trains series, who was a character that drove a lash up of 2 D&H SD45s and caused havoc in comedic fashion when told to drive into the engine shed Aside from that, I think you made awesome choices, and I cant wait to see them on the layout!

Wow, great list. I had to shave a few items off the list. I ordered today, got my pre-orders in. Here is what I got, Eric’s Trains 4-6-0 Steamer, Hiawatha #4 (The Mars Light did it for me), the 7 cars (item 2427400 & 410), CSX ES44 #1973 Chessie, Reading SD45, Red Polar Express, Snow Covered Polar Express Observation Car, The Polar Express TMCC speeder, plus 2 of the weathered hoppers and on my short List is the Lionel Store Polar Express, I just hope they don’t all land at one time.

At some point I'd love to see an Alaska Railroad speeder with the plow attachment, that would be pretty neat. However, your custom-run AWRX Speeder looks amazing, judging by the photo does it have a red headlight? My Grandpa and I sadly don't have the budget or the space for the larger and more expensive stuff, so we decided to order MTH's rendition of Strasburg #90 that will be coming out, despite it not being the most accurate locomotive, it will be a cool addition to the layout! Can't wait to see the stuff you ordered in future videos :)

No, it's a regular white headlight with an orange beacon light on top.

Completely agree with you Eric, this was a really great catalog! It's been a while since Ive had so many things that I wanted to buy from a single catalog. I needed up ordering The ES44 superbass unit, been waiting a while for Lionel to make this so I can run it as a helper unit. Got two of the hotbox refers, was out of the hobby the last time they released those and got three of the four piggyback trailers. I would have gone for a Hiawatha set, but I just got the 20th in the last catalog and need to recoup a bit from that purchase, LOL!

Hi Eric, how are you Lisa and the rest of your family doing? Question, I probably asked this years ago but I want to be clear if you can answer this I don’t think you truly have in one of your old series. I used to love a lot called your Vlog episodes After you had the original E4 4 from the GE demonstrator the Pacific hybrids then to the standard line of the P 2010 that’s the Boy Scout edition BNSF 6431 and Kansas City Southern 4655 I think. Did you say you ordered the next road numbers of the Union Pacific those were the USA flag ones I think you said you order them but I never seen them on the layout and they were never on the website. If you did, did you get one or both numbers either 7454 or think 7459? Plus BNSF and Kansas City Southern had a second number 6436 and I think 4682. Otherwise that’s pretty much it for now if you can answer this question that would be great and if you did not, that’s fine as well and we all could do a simply move on from that. Take care keep the great videos coming as always.

My initial preorder was easy. Everything DRGW. But then i took a longer look at that H7 that they were trying to pass off as a L131 class. It took some time to decide but I settled on swapping that engine out for a locomotive I have real world experience in. Canidan Pacific es44ac #8909. Now that cab number isnt exact in the catalog offerring but its an identical model so i had to get it. Obviously i got all 3 DRGW sd45's, as well as the 3 pack of bnsf and cargill tank cars. Then for some fun I ordered all of the Mister Rodgers cars, bob ross ross sound car, and a thomas kinkade box car for my moms set. Thats all there is too it. Unfortunately that little steamer has a center wheel with no flange. It really stand out like a sore thumb.

I ordered 2 triplexes, the Shay and the Halloween. I still don't understand why they only offered an Erie Vision Line caboose on the Super Set. Why not for separate sale for people who bought the separate locomotive? So of course I ordered the Halloween caboose along with the cars. But you can't pull a caboose behind passenger cars. I also ordered the DR Acula Milk Car, but it doesn't glow. Hopefully they will come up with some glow in the dark Halloween freight cars.@@Ericstrains
