Identifing A MTH Passenger Car Box

Pullman is likely the Road Name. Probably made in the '90s and has silhouettes, not detailed interiors.

Tinplate Guy;

If you look it up under 20-4120 you'll find this:

Pullman 70foot Madison Combine/Diner 2-Car Passenger Set Catalog Yr: 1997

Thank you for the information.

Now I have to figure out where those cars are.

I believe you have the box for a Premier Madison (70') Add-on Combine and Diner in the Pullman (green) paint scheme. It came out in 1997 at a MSRP of $150.

The 'MT' prefix was an early scheme, giving way to the 20- prefix for Premier sometime shortly later. I have several early MTH products with the MT prefix.

You might try 20-4120 on the product locator at the MTH website.

I'm referencing information from TM Books/Video MTH Price/Rarity Guide #2 by Tom Comas and Chuck Krone. Admittedly, having come out in 2001 it's a bit dated.

Hope this helps.

KD...You need an updated guide...

Hey Steve

Is that book available in the more traditional style? If so do you know any vendors that will have it at the Big E show this weekend in MA?

Hi Paul,

No, I'm sorry, not in a traditional printed form.

There are new versions coming soon, probably after the show in MA, that will be breaking out each RailKing and Premier version into an Engines and Sets book and a Rolling Stock and Accessories Book. The four new books will cover everything MTH has offered, but due to the size of each single edition (each growing to 350-400 pages) I thought that this would perhaps enable users to pick which issue might be of most interest.

I've also been able to take each .pdf ebook and see how they look on the Kindle and Kindle Fire and they work very nicely on these devices. Anyone could do this after downloading them from the MTH website purchase and have a nice way of carrying the info around at train shows and such for purposes of looking things up.

These new, updated editions hopefully will be up on the MTH website before the end of January. The files have been delivered already.
