In a recenr Forum subject on Maine trains, a number of folks show a Lionel Chessie System MPC box car # 9740-the car has the Chessie System/ C&O name on it with a secondary tag of MEC. Greenberg describes the car coming in the #1460 Grand National set-a set which appears to have come without individual boxes. But multiple listings show the car for separate sale often in either a Type 2 or 3 MPC box-usually with a label on the end giving the number/description. I presume that indicates that the car was available for separate sale-or have many sellers found boxes ( and added a label) for the cars. Can any MPC experts clear this up-and also describe the secondary MEC on this Chessie car? Thanks in advance-turtle7
