Those cars exist. The trouble is the shade of tuscan paint does not match.

Do an ebay serach for the following:

 

19015   19011, 15 16 17 18 is a nice set

and

Lionel redid them in the conventional classis sets 6-31777 GG1 set and the 726 set. You can find the individual cars sometime.

 

I believe all of the Tuscan Lionel Lines Madison cars are 15" with the exception of 18" cars that came with the 50th Anniversary set 6-31705.

Thanks for pointing me to the 190xx series.

Does any other mfgr offer relatively same thing. Don't care about car numbers or names, but want the same length and Tucson color.

Williams has a entire line based on these models.

K-line, MTH, Lionel all make or made 15" heavyweight cars. The key to our question is the size, so I assume you want 15".

 

Williams used to offer 60' Madison cars. The Luxury Lines cars have the same names as the 1950 set. There are other roadnames as well in Tuscan like Pennsylvania. Check out eBay. Many choices there.

Carl,

This may help some, but to obtain most, or some original items may be very difficult and expensive.

BUT, at least you will have an idea of what you want, regardless of the manufacture and the date(s) of production.

Good Luck,

Just to clarify, 60' = 15" cars equals the length of the original 26xx (or is it 29xx?) cars from the 40's and 50's?
