Anybody Know What The Story Is With This Lionel Coca-Cola Boxcar?

Rocky MountaineerRocky MountaineerOGR Forum Member

Hi folks,

I few months ago, Lionel released 3 of the 4 Coca-Cola vintage boxcars that were catalog'd for 2017.  However, as far as I can tell, 6-84613 hasn't been released yet.    Very odd, as I'm pretty sure these are all made in the USA.  So I wonder what's behind the delay.  You'd think all four of them would have been made in the same time-frame, and all four shipped together.  But that wasn't the case.  Charlie Ro's website has an "expected availability by / /", which isn't very encouraging.  

Just curious if anyone has some behind-the-scenes info on this boxcar.

David

Thanks, Charlie!!!  It'll be interesting to see if this becomes one of those "rare" boxcars in a series.  Back in the 1980's and 1990's, this would happen occasionally.  And the market would play all kinds of games once word spread that a specific car was produced in much lower quantities than others in the same series.  There's ALWAYS one or two where this happens.  Let's see if this is one of them... although I think the toy-train-buying market has changed significantly from several decades ago.
