Looking for Lionel Dealer who will be carrying the new Lionel/MTH proto2 BlueComet (Standard Gauge).
I went on Charles Ro site with no luck. Did a search here...no luck.....MTH catalog product search...no luck. I realize it hasnt shipped yet but who will be carrying these.
Also, I'd like to replace some old beat up Std gauge track we are currently using, any feedback from MTH Std gauge realtrax?
Who (Dealer)do you reccommend ?
Thanks.

You'll probably have better luck finding these items at an MTH dealer rather than a Lionel dealer. Or, try a dealer who stocks both lines. Go to the MTH product locator; key in the product number; and you'll come up with a list of dealers who have that item in stock (once it is released). Otherwise, there are a good many MTH/Lionel Corporation Tinplate dealers around, depending on where you live.
As Allan usually says...Please support the dealers who sponsor this forum and/or advertise in the magazine! I am sure that Ready To Roll in Miami, Florida would be happy to order one for you.

Bingo. I was also going to suggest Ready To Roll. I’ve pre-ordered quite a bit from the 2011 catalog from them.
These are the dealers that have the 3 car passenger set currently on order:

Hi Bluegill1, I find that I need to sell off some of my Tinplate. I have a new in the box Blue Comet Proto 2 (TEST RUN ONLY) 400E and all the coaches that go with it to date that have never seen rail yet. All are with brass details. If interested write brucegillette5@aol.com and give me your phone number and I'll call you. Daughter's wedding is coming in April.
Just adding that I am TCA #00-51743
It will not show up on the product locator because the stores do not have it yet. Once released it will appear. I believe you are looking for the one with Nickel Trim as The Brass Trim has been out for around 1 year.
You should be able to order from any dealer of MTH trains. The general street price is about 10% off retail.
Try Sidetrack Hobbies in Maryland they have a HUGE amount of tinplate in stock ...
