This week I bought a K-Line 5-car NYC heavyweight set: REA, Irvington, Madison, Manhattan, Sager Place. I've seen online that this set is called the "NYC 28th Anniversary" set but haven't been able to find out anything else. 28th seems to be a strange anniversary to commemorate with a train, but there must be something to it; also, whose anniversary was it?
Thanks
John

A wild guess is their 28th anniversary? Wikipedia says Maury founded the company in 1975 and the K-Line Legacy web site says the set is from 2003. Looks like a nice set.
HEY….. Don't leave us hang-in like that …….where are the pics???
K Line did that set shortly after Lionel did the set. The cars are beautiful and hard to find. I have the Lionel set and would be just as happy with the K-Line set. Good find. On the Lionel set the cars have Lionel Lines on them. No deal breaker.

I'm a prewar guy at heart, but I have to say this set is one of the best additions I've made to my collection. They look great behind my Lionel 90th Anniversary 5340 Hudson.
Marty, it's all your fault--I saw these on the wall when I visited your home, and decided right then and there that I had to have a set. They don't seem to come up for sale very often, so when I saw these, I grabbed them quickly.
NICE!
