new Lionel 86' auto parts boxcar- prototype pic here:

That's a lot of auto parts!

That's a cool car! I wonder how long they are and what they are going to sell them for. I might like to get one...

Interesting.

Where did you see this at on the website?

 

Roadnames and MSRP are in the most recent Lionel catalog and the dealers have pricing on their websites. I've got one on order in Milwaukee Road. Based on the prototype length, the model should be around 22" long.

Does anybody know if they will actually be delivering them in the next week or two weeks from Monday.

The 86' boxcars are supposed to be delivered sometime in February.

They are here. I got my shipping notice from Charles Ro 2 days ago. I got all 3 Santa Fe cars on the way.

That's good to hear. Like you, I ordered a Santa Fe hat-trick. Going to put long-shank Kadees on them.

Man 3 of these cars will shrink a layout in a hurry

I got the NS two pack and Conrail two pack on Friday from Electric Train Outlet here in St.Louis. They are awesome. I will post video.

This post is useless without pictures!!

Ever since I saw this car, I was intrigued. I can't run it - but I may have to get in if it comes in this livery...

 

 

Thanks for posting the pictures of the production models. Very nice. I ordered a Santa Fe two-pack and my dealer agreed to sell me singles of the NS, Conrail, and Grand Trunk cars. All were common sights on Santa Fe "vehicle" trains in the early 90s.

 

It will be nice not having to measure and drill to install scale couplers.

I must say, those cars look incredible! Thanks for posting the pics!! Can't wait to get my cars....

Holy smokes!   They look much more impressive than the artwork in the catalog!

 

Thanks for posting the pics.  I like how the two conrails have different size heralds.  Nice touch!
