I recently picked up an unboxed Lionel Budweiser set, supposedly set #11810 from 1993. However, when I look up the set on-line it should contain a GP9 numbered 1947, a boxcar numbered 16248, and a caboose numbered 16551. T
The set I picked up has the 1947 GP9 and the boxcar numbered 16248. However the caboose, although identical to the 16551 has no number on it.
There was also an unnumbered Budweiser plug door reefer included, which the seller stated was 16249. Lionel 16249 is not a Budweiser plug door reefer. The reefer appears to be NEARLY identical to a Lionel 9850 Budweiser reefer except it has no number on it (the 9850 does), is marked King of Bottled Beers (9850 states King of Beers) and the printing on the right side is larger font.
Does anyone know what I have or where it might have come from? Are there proper SKU numbers for the caboose and reefer?
Pictures of the two unnumbered cars are below.
