    The Trains Lionel Should be Making

    So for the past century, for the most part, Lionel has made some of the most high-quality model railroading locomotives and accessories (aside from the 70's and 80's that is). They make amazing steam and diesel locomotives of yesterday and also a lot of great freight sets of today. But still...

    Looking to buy a Lionel Acela

    New Acela for 2012! So now it looks like they are bringing this thing back but without 2 of the cars the original complete set has. The 2005/2006 Acela set had the two loco's, one 1st class, and two Business Class cars which could be combined with the expansion set that includes the cafe car...

    Looking to buy a Lionel Acela

    I'm still looking for a cheaper one though. 2500 should include the extra three cars

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    Now, I will probably get the Super Chief first. What is the best one they offer? WOuld it be the 2007 F-7 ABA set with the 4-pac of cars?

    Looking to buy a Lionel Acela

    why yes! However, I would hope to pay that much for the loco's with 6 cars as opposed to 3 but this is the best possibility I have seen since Christmas, thanks!

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    So if I get the Lionel Southern Pacific Daylight GS-2 TMCC< what would be the most realistic cars to get for it?

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    I still am leaning towards the acela but it has issue is electrification. As far as I know it is one if not the only Lionel train that can use power from an overhead cantonary. My problem is that Lionel does not make these...I don't know if they even exist for O gauge.

    Cannot Decide on Guage/Company

    Ya I mean I'm definately stuck between Lionel and HO (i.e.: Bachman and Marklin). I mean, HO has a MUCH greater diversity of locomotives and rolling stock....especially with modern trains. They are cheaper and smaller so you can have more of them on one layout. But small is good and bad. They...

    Cannot Decide on Guage/Company

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    So is Lionel a bad bet for the long run?

    Cannot Decide on Guage/Company

    Where I am at So here is the deal, I have received the Standard Guage Hiawathaand am very excited, it is a beautiful train. So I will probably store it until I move into a house where I can fully build a display long enough for it! It is simply a monster! So I am still stuck in that old...

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    My only other question is whether I should get the Acela now because they probably will not make it again and wait for them to release better versions of the Southern Pacific Daylight

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    Do you know if Lionel offers the proper cars?
  17. R

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    Valid I really think both of you have valid points. The Acela is an odd one out for Lionel in that aside from a few other Amtrak products, its really the one and only high-speed train from Lionel. I don't know if this will change in the future. The thing that attracts me to the Acela is I...

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    Very Expensive I would, believe me, but they are both VERY expensive. With cars, they are almost $2000 a each. Here is my reasoning for each being they are beautiful and I personally have liked both since I was a little kid. The thing that is pushing me a bit towards the SP because I think it...

    Lionel Modern vs Classical

    So after selling all of my lGB trains and accessories, and after some saving up, I have a choice to make. I want to buy a high-quality lionel train and I cannot decide. I can only get one right now so here is what I'm choosing between: 1) Lionel Amtrak Acela 2) Lionel Southern Pacific...

    Cannot Decide on Guage/Company

    Ya, I'll keep the Hiawatha on display...Ill just do what my grandfather would do and chisel track lines on the wood so there is less chance of it sliding off. The Hiawatha is a beauty...especially because it is metal and in Standard guage...If my memory serves me, Lionel hasnt made standard...
