How many Heavyweight Pullmans did they make?

Sid's TrainsSid's TrainsOGR Forum Member

I have the Lionel 1996 Commodore Vanderbilt and 8 of the heavyweight passenger cars that go with it. I have figured out that they made 11, but are there anymore? 11 is such a strange number of cars.

I know of these 11 in this full set:

Baggage

Van Twiller

NYC-383

Highland Falls

Niagara Falls

Willow Trail

Willow Range

Seneca Valley

Willow River

Willow Valley

Willow Falls

 

These are the ones that I know of. It just seems so strange for there to be only 11. Are there anymore that they made that I didn't mention?

Prompted by John’s question above I had a look around and the answer seems to be that ALL of these cars, including coaches and the platform observation, were lettered “Pullman’” except the baggage car. I do not know whether that is prototypical or not.

One of the best places to find archival photos of older train sets (at least back to the 1990s) is grahamstrains.com and it includes the set referred to above and references to what appear to be at least a couple more add-on packs:

The total that I have found from this and other sources is 10 so maybe your no. 11 is from another/later run of these cars. GGD also made some Pullman heavyweights a few years back but those would have had full interiors.
