Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Boxcar

Beautiful car! You wouldn’t happen to have an extra (or know of anywhere/anyone) that does, would you?

thanks!

-Joe

Looks great! I’m waiting for the one I ordered from LHS.

Great that these are out for the anniversary day. Although this must be easier for Lionel to get out since there is a limited qty and made in USA.

Joe, I ordered mine directly from Lionel. Sorry, no extra and don’t know anyone who does other than Lionel.

Lionel turned my order around in less than a week. It really is a stunning car. I have the other Smithsonian space related car. Super pair to display and run. 

Thank you all for your replies. I called Charles Ro and they put me in for one. I appreciate the help.

Got mine today. Ordered it from Lionel last Saturday, nice turn time. I was 9 years old then and last night I watched the CBS rebroadcast of the launch day on YouTube and I remembered so much of it it was uncanny.

Is this only available through the warehouse? Is this uncataloged? Thanks, Dave

I ordered the car from Lionel several weeks ago and is scheduled for delivery on Monday.

Lionel is apparently sold out of the box car.

Thanks for the info Gramps

My nephew has an entire NASA train and would absolutely love this car to add to the consist.  

Does anyone know where I can get one???  He said that he checked Lionel, Ro, and Trainworld and none had it.

as always, thanks - Walt

I checked as soon as grampstrains told me. None available. Dave

I don't believe the dealers have them in yet. I have one on order from Just Trains and haven't received a phone call to pick it up yet.

It looks like Ro & Trainworld are still taking orders an their web site.

I'm wondering if Lionel is running off a second batch.  Trainworld is taking backorders for and August delivery.

I believe they list items that are not in stock yet as "Taking Backorders". If you look at items from the Lionel 2019 Vol 2 cat., they all show as  "Taking Backorders". I would call to confirm.

It looks like only people that ordered directly from Lionel have received their car so far.

Charles Ro shipped mine yesterday.

From the picture above I can see where the printer is advancing through the print job. You have to look hard but it's there.  Unfortunately that's the way it is on this type of printing process but I think that could be improved.  I still think these are nice looking cars regardless.  I have one on order.

Just Trains called me Tue and let me know they were charging my CC since it was coming in this week. They told me Lionel only made 200.

Ill pick mine up next week.
