Anyone notice how quickly the LRRC died after it was shoved off on the LCCA?

Um..it was not shoved off...

Nice car...was this part of the Western Union LRRC series? 

Yes it was part of a seven car series they made. The Steam engine and tender are very hard to find.

Gramps the LCCA & LRRC was a good merger for both clubs. The LRRC members got a better product for their money.

I have some of the cars on m layout.

Thanks.  Yeah I have this series from LRRC but its put away and I didn't recall all the pieces.  Here are some pics I took of a few items.

I also have this series that I purchased a piece at a time off the bay a few years ago. It has been packed away while I moved but I pulled it out and am running it on my new layout.  I think it is a very nice series. The loco runs great and has really good sound and the cars are excellent.  Sure am glad I made the purchases

Thanks!!    I always regretted not completing  this set.  Its really nice. Now the treasure hunt begins......

Hi, "Mike W." did you repaint your Western Union 665 loco ? I ask because mine is brown.

I have the complete Western Union train set. I found a nice addition to this set: K-Line K616-8011 Western (Union) Off-Center Cupola Wood-Sided Caboose. On the side of the caboose it says "CAMP CAR." This car matches the Lionel set nicely.

Take care,

Dick
