The attached photographs are of the just received Lionel produced Smokey Bear O gauge gondola pre-production sample. The price is $55.00 each plus $11.00 shipping for the first car, and $6.00 for each additional car ordered. You must be a T.T.O.S. member to order the car. The current plan is to do one or two more cars, the caboose and locomotive over the next two to three years.
The release of this particular car is part of our 2015 Albuquerque National Convention since the real Smokey Bear came from the Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico. The car has the Smokey Bear logo, Forest Service logo, and is painted green with red trim and yellow lettering. The car also has die-cast sprung trucks.
