Lionel Autoracks and Motor City Express ...Now with flashing ETD

 Sorry Bill, I'm so sick right now I can't stand long enough to try. I'll do the rest when I get better,

 maybe by this summer????

Joe hope you get better soon. The crud has really gone around a lot. Some people have had it twice so good luck to you.

Allright Frank, you found one with the proto smoke turned on!

And an ETD!

Anyone count how many? And the different rail lines?

Hey Joe,

That was a G Scale video!

I'll be surprised if there are not more racks in the new catalog.  I'd love some in Soo Line or Milwaukee.

Charlie I think you are right and we probably won't see any more GT and CN wvwm though I would like to see more of them.

Has anybody heard anything about the scale cars Lionel is supposed to release to fit the autoracks? I need some scale mid to late 90's autos, pickups and commercial vans to run in some open top autoracks. I want to model like whats shown in the below pic. I opened up a Lionel rack so that I can run a few showing some nice vehicles. I want about 3 to 4 with this look just for variety.

Some pictures of Loading the Autoracks at an assenbly plant just south of Lansing MI yesterday.

Joe did all your Autoracks arrive?

Ya sir!! I thought I had some more coming. I forgot they are the tankers.....

another post. I got another Atlas articulated so with those, my MTH, and now the Lionels, and some MTH still in boxes, I need more rails!!

More 3 rails I hope!!!

The Ft. Pitt Hi-Railers where setup at the recent home show in Pittsburgh and you can see the Lionel scale auto racks @5:14 & 6:00 in the video. Enjoy
