▶︎ A little story about me: I am a retired shop teacher, I spent 36 years teaching Graphic Arts, Vocational Printing Trades, Photography along with extra duties like Drivers Education, & Yearbook Advisor.
I started teaching shop in the fall of 1974. We had seven full time shop teachers. (Industrial Education)
Auto Shop
Construction • Built A House
Drafting, Mechanical & Architectural
Graphic Arts
Small Engines • Marine & Lawn
Metal Shop
Wood Shop
In the late 90’s Industrial Education had to deal with new state guidelines called: Core Curriculum. This put a strong emphasis on the college prep program for all Michigan Students. Needless to say the students had no room in the school day for elective classes and this put Industrial Education out of business
I also took shop classes in High School. Mr. Pasternak and Mr. Mathers were my high school shop teachers and they got me started at Central Michigan University to become a Michigan Shop Teacher.
I would not want to be a high school student today. No shop classes.

Nice quick review Gary. I’m with you on the Doodlebugs. Is see the Ford crane car on your layout soon. Stay warm. 👍🚂🌴😎
-
Excellent catalog review Gary. I always focus on the LionChief 2.0 and Christmas items.
-
I'm definitely getting The East Broad Top Doodlebug. I've seen them run in person. They are really neat and nice. That's probably it.
-
Thanks Gary 😊
-
Nice review Gary. The lionChief Plus engine look nice and the prices are reasonable. Can you apparat them with the Legacy Cabe 2 controller?
-
GoodTrain in Catalog
-
The SIEMENS CHARGER is being made by Bachmann in HO and N scale. They might have a contract for making models.
-
The most popular Amtrak is the Siemens Charger? but what metric? I like the Charger too, but it doesn't hold up to the ACS-64 and Acela. The Northeast Corridor is the place to be!

Thought you might be interested in the DT&I #77 caboose in the scale section. You can see it over here in the Henry Ford Museum. Your grandkids might get a kick out of you having a caboose they can see in real life. That's why I'll be getting one. My kids will definitely like it for that reason. Plus, I have a DT&I engine that needs a caboose. They are hard to come by. The Detroit Edison scale switcher is temping. It is not to crazy expensive. The kids would probably get a kick out of Reddy Kilowatt on it's side. But, Santa just brought a Detroit Terminal R.R. switch. So, I probably will not get it. The kids think it is cool santa brought a train that ran were they have played in the park. What ever you get they will just be happy to do trains with grandpa.

You mock the fantasy/cartoon/PE/NPC trains but they are what keeps Lionel in business.
-
Is it just me, or do the new tooling 12" passenger cars look like the old railking 12" passenger cars?
-
What these companies want to sell is not what I want to buy.
-
remakes, remakes and more remakes.......hard pass on this overpriced remakes.
-
In my opinion Lionel's 2024 Catalog is a flop. You should be saving up your money for the Lionel LionChief Plus 2.0 Denver Rio Grande and Western Gp7 from Last Year's Volume 2 Catalog. Also maybe wait until That Ford Crane Car goes on Sale.
