NMRRC Lake Superior & Ishpeming box cars by Lionel - Still a few left

There are two different numbers of the black diamond cars still available, so if you really like them get two......so the one doesn't get lonely.

These cars are very impressive. John is a good friend of mine and I knew if he was involved in creating these cars, they would definitely turn out great and be something I would want to add to my layout.

Great looking scene Karl.

Thanks Charlie. Somehow I have the feeling you were involved as well considering the LS&I subject matter. 

  BTW, is that a Farmall A in the background of your photo?

Farmall BN.  My other hobby.

Thanks Karl!  I am glad you like your LS&I car.   Charlie is also doing a Upper Michigan theme layout....and both you guys like antique tractors.  

Just sent a check in for two cars.  Wife works for Cleveland Cliffs.......

There is one of the red diamond cars left (#2483), so if that's the one that you are looking for.....move fast.  About 6 of the black diamond cars left.

I keep searching eBay for one of the red diamond boxcars.  Will there be a car made for 2021?

I have been in communication with the club. Sadly, there will be no club car in 2021. Hopefully they will get back on track in 2022.

While the Lake Superior box cars are gone, there were a few of the Dundee Cement cars still available just two weeks ago. I picked up 3 more myself. They are selling them for $40 each, a huge savings.

I saw a red diamond car on ebay a couple of months ago.  Keep watching!

I think I have 4 of each. 

Was definitely a good project John!  I still remember our phone call when I was in NC right after leaving Lionel to discuss the project.
