Lionel has released their new 2006 catalog and there are some new Large Scale items. These are "Holiday Tradition" roadnames only. There is a train set, a car, and a stationary display. These units look more like the New Bright sets and the type of sets that are sold at KayBee Toys and at Costco. They are more "toy like" than like prototypical engines and cars made by Aristo, USA Trains and LGB. Here is the information as presented by Lionel about these new products. More details will follow here at LSOL.com LIONEL HOLIDAY TRADITION EXPRESS SET 
An homage to the classic Lionel train sets, the fully animated Lionel Holiday Tradition Express is ready for a festive adventure this holiday season. Leading the way, the locomotive features bright Christmas lights, true-to-life train chuffing and steam whistles, and two of your favorite holiday tunes.  Just behind the tender, the animated bell car is powered by two elves who crank the handles, swinging the bells into action. The animated work caboose carries Santa?s bag, and Santa stands waving at the rear of the train. With five separate animations, the Lionel Holiday Tradition Express is the train set your family will proudly display for years to come.
