Lionel Prototype Hi-Cube MPC Era

If there's a photo, there has to be a car. No ghost. Thank you!  The Pursuit  Continues.....

Did some more digging; Found photos from an old listing on E-Bay. Apparently it is owned in Burbank, California and for sale for $450.00+. It has not been relisted. That's a lot of money for a MPC era car even though there may be only one. I have less than a 1/3 of that  invested in the entire run of 11 cars. Guess it will always be my ghost. Lol

messaged the owner; still available,  new price is $650.00.

Fwif, those mpc cars don't hold a candle to the Atlas O Trainman cars. Also note the 1:1 Frisco had 50' and 86' hy-cubes.... No 40' hy-cubes.

But it does look nice. I like the bold yellow colors of the car. Looks good with the A.T.S.F red, BN green, and the I.C.G Orange.

I have to admit this car was Lionel's first "modern" freight car and it's newest since postwar. It got me hooked on today's modern freight car's and was one of my first type of freight car's to collect...Until Atlas O came along. Then I let them go after comparing the two.

did you note the inverted numbers?  add the boston convention car, the ttos car, and the mortgage burning car, the line looks great with all those colors being pulled by The Rock GP-7 with The Rock porthole caboose at the tail.

love those larger cubes as well
