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 Hummell posted: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.

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!
