I love the Texas Special aluminum passenger cars. I have the complete PWC set, now everything available for the E7/21" set as well.
My question for the experts is the 18" aluminum stuff from Vol 2 2014. 6 awesome aluminum cars...but what are you all using to pull them? Is this just an instance where Lionel didn't give us a suggestion and there are no engines? What is everyone else doing with the 18" cars from page 94-97? Some real nice options.
Thanks,
AB

Those cars were originally in the Signature book of the same year, they were made to go with an E8. The cars were cancelled and are being replaced with 21 inch cars. Could they be the 21 inch cars that your referring to?

OK, this is perfect information. I wasn't aware the 18" cars were cancelled. I can't believe Lionel hasn't taken them off their website. I see that the 21" cars the E8's are to go with are the new 21" plastic passengers cars. Currently, I am only interested in the aluminum cars...but if the reviews are stellar, I'll probably get a set.
Thanks guys!

Let us not forget the poor old Frisco. From 1950 until 1959, the Texas Special was also pulled by Frisco's beloved red and gold E8's.
