D.G. Yuengling and Son Double Sheathed Standard O Boxcar

I love this care. I joined the club just to order one. It's going to look cool parked along side of my Snow Village Yuengling  building. Keep up the good work guys, I love Yuengling and  can't wait to see the car.

GG1MAN, 

Thanks for joining LOTS and purchasing the LOTS 2016 Convention Car.  I'm sure the car will go well with your Snow Village building.  You may find you like the Yuengling die cast truck we are offering too.  The picture and description can be found at http://www.lots-trains.org/2016ConvFebSWITCHER.pdf ... page 15.

Thanks again for joining LOTS!

Today is your Last Chance to order the latest Lionel manufactured, limited edition, standard O double-sheathed boxcar offered by the Lionel Operating Train Society!!

The deadline to order is today (March 11). Delivery is expected by mid-November 2016.  

Join LOTS (yes, you must be a Member) and place your order today, so you don't miss out!

Cheers!! to a fabulous weekend for all OGR Forum Members!  

I found out about the Yuengling O gauge car and truck recently and wanted to get one of each.  I know it is too late to order, but do you know anyone who will be selling a train car and truck?  Thank you.

No, unfortunately, I'm not aware of anyone selling the Yuengling boxcar or custom die-cast truck.  Thanks for inquiring. 

On Ebay for $176 , I also missed out on this car, I'll just continue to drink the beer and wallow in self pity.

When you're around this hobby long enough you realize this kind of stuff happens from time to time.  Honestly, unless you're literally tripping over yourself to get one, just let it go until you find somebody willing to sell it for a reasonable price.  In several years time, you'll wonder what you ever saw in it to pay WAY over MSRP for it.  It's a cool design for sure... but not for $176+.

David

P.S.  Can anyone say Lionel #5712 woodside reefer?  Those were going for one heck of a super premium back in the 1980's/1990's, and now it's considered just-another-box-car from that era.

I am a member and also missed out on this one....I would pay $176 for it...as long as a (real) Volkswagen was included.  I'll have to learn to live with disappointment.

I looked on eBay and couldn't find this boxcar.  Does anyone have a link?  Thank you.

I break enough of the unnecessary rules on this forum.  But since we're not supposed to post eBay links, just go to eBay and search "Lionel Yuengling".  The first hit I got is this boxcar currently "on sale" for $176 down from the original $200 buy-it-now.  Still pricey, but if you want it... go for it.

Best of luck!!!

David

P.S.  If you check recent sales, somebody paid $200 for one of these boxcars, but the dust seems to be settling around the $140-ish mark.

There's one on the for sale forum right now (unless it got sold and wasn't updated to indicate such), I'm surprised none of you guys caught it when it showed up 2 days ago right around when this thread got resurrected.  It's offered for less than $176.  (I have no connection to the seller)

Thank you for the information.  I'll check eBay.

I think this car will sell at premium prices for years to come.  I say this because:

• It is a gorgeous car - even better looking in person than the photo above!
• There are beer memorabilia collectors out there who buy cars like this but aren't otherwise interested in trains.
• It was a limited run.  The supply is now fixed and demand is only going to go up.
• Yuengling is a popular brand and is likely to remain a popular brand.

I ran this car at our last two shows (3 days of running) and I had 5-6 people ask if I would sell it, and even more asked where they could get one.  It is eye-catching, and makes me glad I am a member of LOTS!

I did see one for sale at York (at a premium price), so that is another option.

This is one of the nicest club cars to be issued. The colors are great. I am glad I did not procrastinate to order this and at the same time I ordered the red, white and blue freedom car too............Paul

I really like this car.  I used to like drinking Yuengling, but haven't had any since I found out the owners are behind the "Right to Work" movement in Pennsylvania. 

So this is my next question.  Does anyone know where I can buy the LOTS Yuengling truck?  Thank you.

Tweeked a scene/vignette.  Ran trains.  Had fun!!!  Here are some photos.Above: GG 1s double headed and on the move! Patsburg West End neighborhood in background. Below: B&O passenger train at station.

Has anyone seen the LOTS Yuengling beer truck for sale?  If so, a link would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

Off topic, but any word on the SF Warbonnet tank shipping date??

Just the same old March shipping date.  If it ever comes in, should be a great addition to that set.

The LOTS SF Warbonnet Tank Car has not arrived at the station in Cincinnati yet.  A postcard announcing the ship date will be sent to all those who have pre-ordered the car as soon as they arrive.  Various circumstances have caused the delay.  Most recently, color "red" corrections were needed, so the car matches the others in the set.  Corrections like these take a little more time.  I'm sure the wait will be worth it : )!

If you have further questions regarding the LOTS SF Tank Car please contact me directly at lotsbusinessoffice@juno.com instead of an old forum topic about the LOTS Yuengling Beer Car.

Andy,  what is a good guess on limited run production?  I just found one and it is a Beauty

No way I'd sell mine.... This is a great car!

TShearer -

675 Yuengling Boxcars were produced by Lionel for the Lionel Operating Train Society! Awesome car with awesome nostalgia type graphics!

I've been in the locomotice of the LOTS train for 25 years and this is, by far one of my top 10 favorite cars offered.  Of course my absolute favorite was before my time...a 1988 Milwaukee Road Log car with real logs and chains!

See most of the collection (41 years) at this link - https://lots-trains.org/entire-collection/

Happy railroading!

I could hardly believe how many eye-catching exclusive offerings the club has produced over the years!  That's quite the collection!
