Here, we will try to keep you informed of changes to our website, including the posting of any new products.
| 7/28/2008 | We are told that the 587 Block Signals are enroute from Lionel at this time, along with several new freight cars from the 2008 line. |
| 7/28/2008 | The LIONEL Fall Catalog 2 has been released. You can find it on the Lionel website. The only new AF items are a 3-car set in the blue-&-yellow paint scheme, to match the earlier GP diesel, bxcar, and caboose. This 3-car set includes a stock car, 3-dome tank car, and gondola with coil covers. MSRP: $160. We are now accepting advance orders for this item. The remaining items in the fall catalog are carry-overs of prior releases, including the Big Boy locomotive (now upgraded to Legacy control system as a built-in option). |
| 7/21/2008 | EKH Decals has been the primary manufacturer of quality AF reproduction decals for many years. The owner has decided to retire from the business, and we have just concluded the purchase of the entire EKH prewar and postwar decal inventory, as well as all artwork and production material.
