Potentially the great bargain in the Lionel 2023 catalog for one lucky train enthusiast: A free Lionel Vision Line Big Boy. Just open the cover of the new catalog and scan the bar code and fill in your name and birthdate, acknowledge that you read the rules and wait until March 8th when a winner will be announced to be awarded a Lionel Vision Big Boy. I submitted my entry!

And, the winner will also receive a big, beautiful, brand new IRS 1099 Form for the retail value of the prize!!
The value of the prize awarded to the winner will be reported for tax purposes. For any prize valued over $600 must fill out the IRS form.

I already entered even after reading the fine print. But I’m not worried, I probably won’t win anyway. Thinking that way maybe I’ll win! But it doesn’t matter, I already have three scale Big Boys. The eBay idea sounds good, but I’d sell my ProtoSound 1 model.
Nah, I’m greedy!

Thanks for the heads up madockawando. If I see a print copy of the catalog I'll enter just for the fun of it. I have no interest in any Big Boy and even if I did it wouldn't run on my layout. If I won it I would sell it to cover the taxes and use the leftover money to buy an engine that I am interested in and that would run on my layout.

I don't have that technology so I guess I'm out.

I never win these things but signed up anyway.
My wife likes to buy lotto tickets when the jackpot is high. I ask her why and she tells me "you never know". I respond with "that's true but I have a pretty darn good idea". I call it the lotto tax, but luckily she doesn't go overboard.

I just entered via the online catalog.
Good luck to all who entered or will enter.
