UPDATE...Where Can I Find Lionel 6-26769 Santa Fe TMCC Crane Car?

I have a M.O.W. TMCC Crane car that I would trade for a Santa Fe one :-)

 

I have an awesome one on my shelf

 

 

Actually it was tough, I looked all over York and then scoured the internet for days until I got lucky and scored one at a small shop in Reno. I really do not know if you are going to find one without hitting eBay

 

I think 265.00 is a good price if they have it

Since that car was produced back in 2004, there is virtually no chance you'll find it at a dealer, so you'll have to locate one in the secondary market through train club ads (TCA, LCCA, etc.), on the Bay, or on the Forum. Noticed there's also one on the Bay with the matching sounds tender car for 400 bucks. Gets pricey, but that's actually a pretty good price for these cars. The sounds tender really adds a lot to the set, and it may be hard to find this for sale by itself later if you just get the crane car now. 

 

Lionel also produced another one of these SF crane sets more recently, although the crane has a different paint scheme.

I have the crane and tender that is part of a Santa Fe work train I'm putting together. I'd like to sell the set as a whole if you are interested. I know that the loco is an Atlas RS-1 and I have a K-Line Bunk car (no box) and a Lionel flat car. I know there are a few more cars, but can't remember what they are. They are all scale and MIB. If interested I will gather the set and take pictures.

Let me know.

Thanks a lot everyone for your help. I will let you know if I find one at reasonable price!

I put exactly the same set together. Another car is a Lionel 8K gallon silver MOW tankcar (water for the steam derrick), and there's a silver Lionel SF MOW tool car, also. Makes a neat set, everything in silver or black with silver stripes. I added a second silver Lionel 40' flatcar carrying a 1/50 scale backhoe.

 

That silver K-Line SF Bunkcar (has smoke, too) is a sharp car, BTW.

One more question...were there any issues with any of the roadnames?

AFAIK, most of them were exactly the same hardware, just different paint jobs.

 

The outriggers stick at times, but I don't use them anyway.

Michigan Model Train Center, which is now going out of business, had the 6-31782 in stock at one time.  They are open Fri-Sun 12-4.  Phone 734 426-1651.  Last I knew they were selling around 20% off list, might be more by now.

Would love to find the conrail or cp rail version if anyone has a lead

NJOGauge,

 

Check your e-mail. I have what you are looking for.

Thank you.

Are you still looking for one of these? I now a guy who's selling one.

UPDATE...I purchased the crane and the car and I think it's a great accessory. My favorite accessory to date!
