No buzz of late on McCoy trains-anything going on out there-last piece I bought was back before Christmas-now have 338 different McCoy pieces and maybe 80 of those are one off's.

Hey Parker,
Haven't seen you on here in a long time! Ever seen a log car like this one?

Diesel is one of the McCoy s"George" loco's that did not sell well the last three cars are from the Black diamond Railway set.
Note the log car is different than any others I have seen. It has the road name from the full size log car. And "George" is a survivor, still running strong with his underfloor motor.
Parker,
I have been trying to build a set of McCoy TTOS blue and yellow circus cars, How many blue and yellow TTOS circus cars are there and are there any other blue and yellow McCoy cars that can be used with the blue and yellow circus cars?
Bob Nelson
4 not including the caboose Don't know of anything that would match them?? You could use the two yellow water wagons off the TPC 256FWW on a blue flatbed but that's kinda expensive car to be monkeying with.
Parker
Or you could look for the combo passenger car that TTOS sold in 1982 that was redecorated by Nostalgia Train Works. I will try and post a picture later tonight. It is painted to match this set too.

Did Nostalgia Train Works repaint any other passenger cars in this livery?

No, not that I am aware of. But I have often thought that a set would look great!

I agree. Is Nostalgia Train Works still in business?

Yes, Steve Latta is still at it if you have something special you want done.

A Red McCoy Cascade the long loco would be interesting.
When I was a kid, we use to fly control line airplanes. The big 3 engine manufactures were Fox, Cox and McCoy Model Aircraft Engines. Are these McCoy trains from the same manufacture that made the model airplane engines? I just found this on ebay...

How about three versions of the Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Car?

I own a forth version of this Pabst Beer car. It is a box car, like the second and third cars above, but with a single sliding "blue" door.

I'd love to see a picture if you can post one. Dark blue?
Info and price! On McCoy 16-car White Painted Circus Train especially if it’s all unused in original boxes? Any info and A price range for the 16 cars would be great. And a price for a matching circus cascade Loco from McCoy would be great as well ? Is the loco hard to come by?
Those on ebay right now? If so I would think somewhere around $800 tops? The loco price is all over the board-one will sell for $800 the next for $1400.
Four versions of the Campbell's Soup car. I know there are more out there. Let's see what you all have...

I will post one as soon as I can find the car, which is buried deep in the barn, and photograph it.

I have a family friend that lost her husband a few years ago. He was a collector for over 50yrs and amassed a very large collection of Lionel, AF trains I would say over 500 cars/loco’s plus boxes of accessories. I’m trying to help her out with selling some of her husband’s collection and have run into some of these cars in his notes on his collection. Any idea of a fair price and anyone that would want to possibly purchase them. I’ll add a couple pics of the pictures he has in his folder and a list of what they are. His notes say NIB so I’m guessing that they have never been used. Thanks.

Original artwork for the TTOS McCoy Blue and Yellow Circus Train. TTOS only sold the Engine/Tender, the Reptile Car, and the Caboose, and they were identified as TTOS. McCoy sold the remaining three cars direct and they were identified as TPC. Bob McCoy Sr told me that he only made 50 sets of the remaining cars.

I added a couple of custom cars to my TTOS set.
Very cool trains! THANKS to all for sharing!
