A little help needed...

K-9791?

That is NOT a K-line painted car.  While it might be a K-line body, K-line did not put those graphics on it.  It's a custom (not NOT K-line) painted car.  Note the NTW letters; that stands for Nostalgia Train Works from California.  NTW painted and lettered that car, not K-line.

If that is the 'K' number that would put it somewhere past the year 2000 I would guess.  By then the 6400 series molds would have been gathering dust on the shelf for five or six years.

What car is this? Could that just be an overstamp of an already painted car?

Did they use K-Line boxes? The ones listed do.

They used whatever boxes they had on hand.  Yes, often they were the same boxes that the item originally used but sometimes they were just blank boxes.  Same goes for trucks/couplers, they used whatever they had on hand; sometimes the trucks were from one manufacturer and the body was from another.

To see more and better pictures of the car in the opening post (plus another NTW car) go to Ebay and type in:

Thanks for all the info.  The set did come out of California.  The car was in an unmarked K-Line box.

Interesting that K-Line would send them blank boxes. Can't imagine Lionel, MTH doing that. Using your search shows plain white boxes rather than a K-Line box.
