It is just a catalog image for now. I have been informed that it will be plated. The popularity of this item is evidenced by the fact that Lionel changed it's original quota from 200 to now BTO. I seriously doubt that you will see a production sample for this one.

 

The gold PE passenger cars make this engine even more appealing. I guess that this set is for the ultimate PE fan.

It would make sense that additional gold cars will follow. Lionel will have a pretty good feel for volume based upon the number of engines ordered. Not to say that engine sales will translate 100% into the same demand for the cars, but is should produce a good indication for the demand for these cars.

 

Playing it safe, it also makes sense to order additional gold coaches.

One would think that's the case, but then again... why would the catalog say...

 

Add an Observation Car and as many Coaches as you'd like behind your gold-edition The Polar Express Berkshire.

 

  Just doesn't instill much confidence either way.  Given that Lionel is re-issuing ALL the regular PE cars, you'd think they'd at least provide some direction for the gold train. I guess this will be an obvious (and often asked) question for Lionel reps at York next week.

That's my plan, David.

I will try and get you an answer next week about the extra cars.
Thanks

Can you enlighten us as to whether Lionel will produce additional gold cars beyond what is in the current catalog, and if not, can you get us an answer to this question?

 

Happy Easter to you and your family as well.
