Gentle Forum Members,
News from our partners at Lionel!
Your White Castle Refrigerated TOFC Collectible Cars are scheduled to leave port in China on Sunday, September 8th. They will begin their journey across the Pacific to the West Coast where they will be transloaded onto a train for the cross country trip to Lionel’s facilities in Concord, North Carolina. Once Lionel’s shipment from China has been broken down, your White Castle Cars will travel to Riverhead, Long Island by truck. The Railroad Museum of Long Island will receive the cars and begin processing your order. If all promises are kept, you should see your model around Halloween 2013!
We received a decorated model of your car on July 10 . . . . . . it is beautiful! Lionel and their factory did an outstanding job replicating the details and colors of White Castle’s famous products for us! Take a look at the “deco model.”
Reports from Lionel indicate that we may see our RCA Operating Radar Car in time for Christmas. I will update all of you as that schedule becomes more clear.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding as we have waited for these Collectible Cars. Thank you for your continued support of our car program and the Railroad Museum of Long Island!
Don Fisher, President
Railroad Museum of Long Island
