MTH DAP Trains

I have a DAP big boy and DAP UP passenger cars and some other DAP stuff. I dont have nay pictures tho

If you go to the MTH website and product locator, type "DAP" and you should get about 2 pages of items listed there.  I think there might be a couple missing from the results, but still a good start.

I have the clear shell F-3 set.  I was thinking about bringing it to York.  It is new/never run.

I have the DAP Pennsylvania RR L1s 2-8-2 20-80007a from the 2007 DAP catalog (delivered in May 2008).  These (both the regular Premier version and the DAP version) were the first MTH steam locomotives with the tetherless drawbar.  I have run it alot, and have had no problems from the drawbar.

The NS 'Executive Train' headed by the handsome F9s is probably the most desirable of the DAP series from all indications. The Yellow Santa Fe F3s are certainly in the top 5 from a personal viewpoint.

MTH has rerun the NS set in RK Scale as has Williams but it is a mystery as to why Lionel has not issued a Legacy version of this beautiful and popular train. 

Here's the DAP search on MTH.  I was given the trolley as a gift.  It's the only PS-1 equipped locomotive I have that I haven't turned PFA off on.

I have the Kansas City Southern F7 ABA set with passenger cars....a very nice-looking set.  Don't have pictures of my own but here's what they look like.

speaking of,,,,do they still have that program,,,or when was the last issue,thanks

I think I have a full set of the Christmas cars.  The last year in sinclair's link above seems to suggest 2011 was the last one for those(I'm trusting that, I m not at the PC with my inventory list at the moment).

I think the program ended probably around then or maybe sometime the following year.

Actually, now that I look at the list closer, I think earlier items (at least Christmas boxcars) may be missing.  I'm 99% sure they started around 98 or 99, but 2003 is the earliest in the list.

Looking at item 20-80001 may explain it a bit.  It lists all items for that year, but the Christmas car listed does not show up separately in the search for DAP.

The "DAP" dealer Appreciation Program stuff was suppose to be existing models painted up for a train and/or road in limited quantities.  Supposedly only two (sets) per dealer that bought in.  By sets I was once told that a dealer had to buy the whole DAP offering or nothing.  We were kind of lead to believe when we bought a DAP engine, set, etc. we had something limited and special.  Of course that trust was broken with the 2015 volume two reissue of the NS OCS.

Anyway here are the DAP products I bought from 07.

First the NS OCS engines.

The PRR mike in the middle is a DAP engine from the same year.

 Oh, interestingly the Mike on the left a modern version is from the same year but out of the 07 volume 1 catalog.

Thanks all for your post! Keep them coming!

Question, were all DAP products in the blue box?  I have an Erie Triplex that I believe was a DAP engine am long with six boxcars, six hopper cars and a bobber caboose.  I may be wrong about that though.
