Reading Passenger Car Arrival?

Clearly, I suspect only some folks at Lionel would have that information, and most "when does it arrive" queries to Lionel have been met with crickets.

Yeah, I have noticed that too. I figured it would be worth the shot to ask here though. Worst that can happen is it gets deleted lol

Well they made the Boston & Maine set cars which are the same tooling. Haven't seen the preamble express set yet though or the freedom train cars that are same tooling.  My guess is they are on their way soon.

Does anyone know when these cars from the 2020 V1 catalog are expected to arrive? They were due in December and there has been radio silence on them. I've even asked during a couple of Lionel's live Facebook videos, but they didn't answer. Has anyone heard anything?

I hope soon also.  They did go pretty well and are hard to find for pre-order.  Should look great with my new T1.

With the Reading cars should come the AFT ad on sets too! I hope they all DONT come in at the same time, Reading, AFT, and Polar Express scale ad ons!

We just got our Reading cars yesterday and I saw thg he scale Polar as well as Chessie ones too.  The cars are quite nice.

Just got invoice for PE Hobo car.  I feel your pain.  I also just received the same Readings as well as the MTH 611 plus cars.  

Thanks guy!

Please Post Pictures! Much Appreciation!

Can't wait for my Chessie cars either. I haven't gotten anything from Charles Ro yet.

The metal work is plain, not yellow like the catalog.

I don't have any of these ordered, but I do have a Railfanning the Reading DVD which has several good shots of passenger trains footage, including the Rambles.  The Reading was known for painting almost everything green.  The early diesel also had green handrails as delivered.  Looking at the dvd the passenger cars in the style lionel is making did not have green handrails on the outside.  The curve handrail mounted to the bottom of the hinged floor platforms for high platform station were yellow, but you couldn't see it from most angles if the trap door was down.

Here are a couple screen shots for illustration

Thank you for the photos!

The Allentown and Auburn has a CNJ passenger car that is painted RDG 2 tone based on original paint samples

Another Question. Do any cars have marker lamps on end? Much Appreciation!

What would be really cool to see is a video of 2 O Gauge T-1's double headed pulling all 6 lionel cars plus a set of 8 SGL passenger cars like a Ramble!

My Chessie 2-Pack will arrive tomorrow according to my Charles Ro order. I'll post some pictures of them when they arrive.

Here's a good look at the new Chessie cars. Looks like they came all in one piece. Beautiful! Kudos to Lionel!

I'm sure once  COVID is over, a close friend and I will be getting together with each of our 6 pack of Lionel ones to put behind his T-1. We may even try it with my G-3, though I may just make that 8 cars.

I don't think any of the cars have markers. There are companies that sell them and drumheads though. I am thinking about adding them eventually.

Those are great! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing. Now we can hope for correct Reading MU cars.
