Get ready to celebrate the World Series champions with a special limited edition, made in USA Lionel boxcar!

 

This limited edition boxcar will commemorate the winning team from the 2014 World Series battle between the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals with appropriate team graphics. One side of the car will also feature the final scores of each game. Production will be strictly limited to 300 cars. Check out the attached product sheet for more details.

 

In order to strike while the iron is hot, and provide a quick turnaround, please share the attached product sheet with your dealers and customers. We will send out an order form and updated product sheet once the winner of the series is proclaimed. The deadline to order the car will be one week from the last game and delivery will be in late November. The cars are already in production and are waiting for the final graphics to be applied.

 

Due to the limited nature of this car, we are expecting a sellout and it may be necessary for us to allocate once the orders are received.

 

We hope your favorite team wins and wish you a grand slam in sales!

 

Regards,

Gotta love the fact it's gonna be one of the Made-in-the-USA boxcars!  Brings back visions of days gone by when JLC himself could call over to the NJ factories from his NYC office to "re-arrange" a production schedule or two in order to make a special run "happen" quickly without hassle.  

 

Unfortunately the bean-counters and global outsourcing wizards gave up that capability when they sold off manufacturing resources to the Far East.    Glad to see some things coming back, where they can be made on a moment's notice as needed -- the way it should be.

 

Meanwhile, we're still waiting for a simple but cool CSX Heritage 60' boxcar that's over 2 years overdue from the Orient.  Unbelievable!
