Hi Everyone...Just lost another bid for my last car ( Blitzen # 6-35173) that I needed to complete the set- If I cannot find one anywhere & I was wondering if anyone could change my Prancer car # 6-25183 to "Blitzen" lettering ( It appears to be exactly the same car type other than the lettering & numbers on it)-I am new to the hobby & I would not know where or who to contact- Any suggestions?

Do you think there will ever be a reissue? IMO It would be a great holiday seller & would be great to have L.E.D. lights & Maybe some people sitting in the cars! ( I can dream can`t I ?)

Congrats! These cars ( I have the 3 car set and come) and the rs3 route of the reindeer are what got me into the hobby. As per your earlier comment, I would like a slightly larger passenger car, not the o27s if they ever reissue.
Happened to see this on the Bay. In a class of silly all by itself.

That’s part of the reason I (for the most part) stopped at 4 cars.
Hey Sal V. Interesting that you asked about changing the name of Prancer to Blitzen. I had asked about creating number decals in the correct font for all the cars in the set, since only the original 3 cars had heat-stamped numbers. If I remember correctly, it wasn't worth the effort.
I own the complete set and also chose the RS-3 Route of the Reindeer as its motive power, though that's not strictly proper since it isn't a North Pole Central RS-3 but a North Pole Express. Sometimes I use my steam locomotive from the Christmas 2000 starter set as an alternate.
