MTH CENTERBEAM NUMBERING MISTAKE?

I've never seen it in an out-of-the-box model either, but I've seen a mixed-numbered prototype (renumbered, but someone missed one).

Matt,

I looked these cars up & 2 were produced-866315&865164. The car I'm talking about is numbered 866164 on the ends and 866315 on the car sides. LOL So MTH did mess up on that one. Manufacturers are usually very careful about that. Well it's the Chinaman's fault that actually did the numbering,but it still falls back to MTH. Well,there's my "1st time" on that issue. Ha ha!

Could it just be an assembly error? Don't have one in front of me, IIRC the ends are separate parts.

BOBBYD,

Could be a mistake. The thing that gets me more than the mistake is,the man wants $75 plus shipping and the car's USED! They must really be in demand.(?) They were $54.95 new.

The Premier Center Beam cars are hard to find. I got lucky with my UP cars, maybe because they were older and weren't the "opera window" style. Last time I checked, there were a lot of the Rail King cars, but only two Premiers which were both listed above MSRP.  As for the numbers on the ends, some 1000-grit wet/dry sand paper (wet) should take the numbers off the ends without marring the paint.

Another example of their accuracy !

The irony here is that a one time Southern did sell their old cabs to the Erie.
