Does any one know if MTH or Lionel did 18” heavy weights in the two tone grey UP paint scheme. I would think after all these years, surely MTH would have done a set a like this, but I spent some time searching tonight and cannot seem to find anything except 21” cars or the 18” brass Harriman cars from 3rd rail.

K-line made 18" ttg heavyweight cars with frosted silouette windows. Lionel has the tooling but never made a TTG set.
MTH released yellow heavyweights but never TTG. Lionel now has that tooling too. MTH made ONE set of 18" lightweight cars in TTG which could stand in for a City of St. Louis. (Only UP lightweight train in TTG)
Atlas O released Harriman style round roof heavyweights based on CNW prototype 60ft cars with 4 wheel trucks in thier value Trainman line.
Williams, Lionel, and MTH all released 0-27 shorties in TTG.
3rd rail made brass 72' Harriman Heavyweights.
GGD made plastic 80' clerestory Heavyweights and 60' Harriman Heavyweights. Also some very nice "modernized" heavyweight cars.
Lionel recently released TTG generic Harriman type round roofed heavyweights.
Lots of photos here...

I think Atlas has control of the MTH Madison heavyweight tooling rather than Lionel.

That’s correct. Atlas has already delivered some Atlas/MTH heavyweights.

Thx for correction. And I forgot about the full length Williams!

Nice cars, did the tooling simply disappear?
