Dear GG1 Guy:

If Entenmann's (actually Bimbo Bakeries) ends up buying Hostess Bakeries, then we have a potential "in" with them.

LITTLE has an exclusive licensing agreement with Entenmann's to produce their items.

Our next car is a legacy Grumman Hellcat.

The photo does not do it justice, the flatcar will be made in a translucent (see through) scheme to resemble the plane flying through the air.

If you have any suggestions for another Entenmann's car, perhaps a caboose or an inexpensive engine, please let me know.

Bob Mintz

Close, but no vatcar!

Some rip-off artist has one of these on the auction site for $169.00 with FREE shipping!

mmmmm... looks tasty!  Sweet car!

Thanks,

Mario

transporting butter in an unrefrigerated vat?  ...*yikes*

you literally put all your eggs in one basket with this one.

i would have gone with...

sugar and flour center flow hoppers;

butter and eggs reefer;

& a chocolate tank car.

Originally, I had one of the vats as milk.

I looked at the major ingredients of the yummy chocolate donuts, and chocolate, flour milk and sugar were the top 4.

Entenmann's had the final say and requested we substitute butter for milk.

The vats do not necessarily have to carry what is labeled on them.

Could it just be a moving billboard for all Entenmann's ingredients in their products?

But you have given me some ideas for this continuing series...

Bob Mintz

It looks more like a Beechcraft Bonanza.

It is a Beechcraft Bonanza.

That is the only type of airplane that Lionel has ever done as far as I know.

LITTLE only produces actual Lionel product, so that is the only airplane molding available.

Gotta use your imagination a tad.

My car arrived today! I never realized that Colorado was so close to Long Island!

H Bob we need an ENTENMANN'S tank car next.

GG1GUYY

Mine came today! I'm a happy camper!

THIS CAR IS A PERFECT MATCH FOR THE OTHER ENTENMANN,S CARS AND I AGREE WITH GG1GUYY WE NEED A MATCHING TANK CAR!!!!!

Dear Fellow Trainees:

As of yesterday, all Entenmann's vat cars have been shipped.

Glad some of you guys can leave sitting next to your mailboxes.  Warm happy campers are what we desire here at LITTLE.

Please keep the suggestions coming in.

Just to give you a LITTLE insight into the marketing process, we need to balance what our customer base wants, what Entenmann's desires, and most importantly, cost.

As you are aware, we have never charged for shipping, and with the US Post Office proposing rate increases next year, we are trying our best to give you the best bang for the buck.

We again thank you for your continued patronage.

was this the first car?  if not, what others exist?

you could definitely point to the Baker's Chocolate tank car as an appropriate mean of transport, not to mention it being a very popular car.

and if you go for a finished product transport, a reefer would be the correct choice over a boxcar.  reefers not only refrigerated, but also provided heat venting (from ripening produce), and protected transport for many food items; and unlike boxcars which were mostly owned by the railroads, many reefers were owned by private manufacturers for the transport of their own products.

Not to speak for Bob, but I believe this is the first offerd with LITTLE  standing as its own entity.  Previously they partnered with the Ralroad Museum of Long Island for at least a few cars, I believe.

George, thanks,  mine came today
