Hi Everyone
I provide a modular train display for our local Shriner's Catfish Festival which raised money for their Children's Hospitals. This year I would like to have train dedicated to Shriners that I can use each year. (1) Does anyone know of a Shriners Train Set that was produced by Lionel, MTH, K-Line, etc.? or (2) Any ideas on how I would make a train that depicts Masons and Shriners and their hospitals?

Weaver did a number of Masonic items.
You might want to give T & J Train Junction in Danville, PA a call. I'm about 90% certain that I saw a set there for sale last year when some of us went out to that area for Weaver's going-out-of-business sale.

I'm sure Thom Shepler could paint you one. Thom goes by "DOC" here on the forum. He is a member of the Pittsburgh Hi-Railers that sets up at all the Greenberg Train Shows in Monroeville and the T.C. A shows n Cranberry. They also, do the Kennywood Christmas display.
Weaver did a Masonic Train Set about 15 years ago, It had set of cars with one for each of the Masonic Orders in PA, Masons, Shiners, Tall Ceders, except for the auxiliaries - Eastern Star and such. Ebay has one for bid right now:

The PRR C1 is scale and very impressive.
Hi Everyone
Just want to thank those members that gave suggestions on the Shriner's Train. After the fund raiser Catfish Dinner in April I will post photos of the final train with localized Mason cars.
Especially want to thank Rob Johnston for the lead on the Weaver Shriner's Set - I just received in from E-Bay and it is a nice start for the trains - I appreciate the interest and information!
