DTI rolling stock-where are you?

What does this mean? This is a hard to find ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF Auto Carrier by Lionel. Are you going to sell this? It could be higher priced because of the rarity.

Lucas Liska was selling off all of his factory painted and custom painted Detroit, Toledo & Ironton locos and cars in the past year. Lucas Liska will also custom paint and decal DT&I locos and cars, if he can find or make the decals.

MTH has just released some new DT&I ACF Centerflow 3-Bay Covered Hoppers.

I was gonna say, that car has IC logos & reporting marks on it, not the DTI.

This was the logo for the DTI

That "coin logo" is the steam era logo for DT&I.  Most stuff you see is the later diesel era

"compass" logo.  Somebody is making the castings of that coin logo for tenders, but

I think only in HO.  There is a DT&I website on the net, and a number of other sites,

but many of them are centered around HO.

Hopefully hobo will clarify how that car relates to the DT&I ?

Is this a hint that the ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF name and herald will be soon covered with the DETROIT, TOLEDO & IRONTON name and herald that are on sheets of styrene that are then attached using rubber cement or low-temp hot glue, so they can be removed later.

True, but it was used in reference to the OP's car, where I was assuming hobonorthern was confusing the two railroads due to the somewhat similar-looking IC logo on the MPC tri-level car he posted.  The more-modern "star" circle logo the DT&I used in its later years was quite a bit different.

I know that Lionel did a offer a scale DT&I black 3-bay coal hopper not too long ago (6-27471), and during the MPC-era they also offered a 6-9750 blue DT&I boxcar.  Public Delivery Track has a Trainman 50' gondola & a Master Line 50' boxcar in DT&I livery for sale on their website, but I think those were custom-painted runs for them.  Atlas O also did the Trainman 3-bay PS-2 covered hopper in DT&I "baby blue" also.  MTH did several cars in DT&I in both their Premier & Railking lines, including a caboose, crane car, box cars, ore cars, PS-2 discharge hoppers, etc.

I have the Yard Master DT& I set ,got confused over the whole logo thought that the car carrier could got with this set 

The ICG Auto Carrier is the right size and time period for the other traditional O gauge cars in the Yardmaster train set. You just need to get 9 to 12 Hotwheels cars that have body styles from the 1960's or 1970's.

Now that I recall, back in the early 2000s the original K-Line came out with a DT&I flatcar with a tinplate rail load (K691-3421)

K-Line by Lionel offered a DT&I work crane & caboose set (6-21647) and they offered another DT&I flatcar with a Ford trailer (6-21659).   The Ford trailer seems kind of fitting, if not prototypically accurate, since that railroad was once owned by Henry Ford.

Lionel also offered a yellow DT&I hopper during the MPC era (6-9018) that would fit with that set along with that 6-9750 boxcar I mentioned in my previous post.

You can check on MTH's product locator website for the DT&H stuff they made, although you might want to limit your search to the RailKing line since the Premier cars would probably dwarf your O-27 set.  Might skip on Atlas O too for the same reason unless they made some DT&I stuff in their Industrial Rail line which would be O-27 sized.

Take a look at these:
