That is a very nice looking boxcar, I'll have to check it out, I think it would be nice to have.

I like it.  I remember on our familys Christmas layouts, there was to be no whistling or horn blowing when passing the manger scene.     Mike the Aspie

Thank you for making us aware of this great Christmas car, Don!  I will have to get one to add to my Religious themed Christmas train!!! 

Thank you for your comments and your interest Gentle Forum Members.

Joshua Lionel Cohen's legacy in New York City, his company's tradition of trains in the Christmas Putz and under the tree, and his nearby burial site have not been lost to the members of the Glendale Council.  Many of the older members continue to enjoy their Lionel trains, pre-war and post-war models, around their tree at Christmas time.  My personal friend, Frank Kotnik, who chairs their Collectible Car Committee, has had a 16' x 4' O Gauge layout for many years and is planning a modular layout to share with the members at the Council.  Lionel trains play a big part in all of this. 

Already thinking of the many happy people who will come to see our trains run between Thanksgiving and the New Year 2019!

Best to all,
Don

Nice car, Don. I have forwarded this to my brother, who is both a " Lionel guy" as well as a 4th degree knight in one of the Chicago-area councils.

Thanks Don!  I was "revisiting" some of my recent magazines, and had folded over the corner of the page with the announcement of this box car.  You made ordering a breeze, and this will be an excellent gift for Christmas for my "Train Buddy" son and his boys - and their layout!  So glad that the ordering date has been extended.  Also, looking forward that upcoming pancake breakfast near us...

Great Idea.  Jesus IS the reason for the season.

I ordered mine.

Don and other council members,

Thanks so much for posting this offer on the Forum! I placed my order immediately, and think it is a very beautiful and meaning full car. Thanks so much.

wouldn't a stock car have been more appropriate?

Not if you are going to put a mural on the side!

Great Idea for Christmas 2019, Overlandflyer!!!!
