LCCA Ships Goliath, Passenger Cars and Prospector Set

If pursued, please do something different, something that may attract a broader group of collectors, not just some repainted version of a 400E, 381, or anything that's been done a million times before in a million different paint schemes.

The New Haven streamliner would be good, and also, but I doubt that tooling would be developed for 500 pieces.  A reuse of existing tooling would work with an O gauge tinplate PE (using existing engines like a 260, and maybe some of the Ive style 1685 cars would be acceptable in O, even though a repaint). After seeing the train at the end of the movie, who wasn't disappointed that the Lionel offering was "modern".

It appears that the M&AR Blue Goose would be easily accomplished by double heading a Flying Yankee power car, with an extended body. It would look more accurate than a Prospector, and cheap to make as well.

There are just too many redone, remade, Cohen, MTH, Williams versions of 1764E's, 400E's, 381's, 408's. The market is saturated with shiny versions of these. Just please do something else if possible.

Bob,

The list says that they had one--hardly enought to expect anyone to offer it with so many other roads involved.  I would still get one though.  They are cool:  A little like Capt. Video or Buck Rogers or Dr. Who for that matter.

How about a remake of Cowan's very first !  That little cart.  If priced correctly it would sell do to it's unique nature.  It should be inexpensive to make too.

Joe Mania has reproduced the wooden version of this 100 Gondola and MTH has reproduced the 200 metal bodied version. They aren't exactly inexpensive to produce.

They were cancelled from the first LCT catalog in 2009. At MSRP's of $299.99 for the unpowered version (11-2012-3) and $499.99 for the powered one (11-2012-0), it was no surprise that they were cancelled.

Like you said, they need to be priced correctly.

Norm.

How did I miss that!  Oops, senior moment.
