What is your favorite Sports team train that MTH has produced?

Tim,

    Come now everyone knows there is only one real Sports Train, it's the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl Train, with the add on rolling stock.  Course the Hi Railers members have an incredible Steelers Train with all the rolling stock including the Chucks Hall of Fame Box Car, very serious Train Set.

My favorite is my New York Yankees Train.

 

 

Pat,

   Got to admit that is a real nice Train!  But if we are talking Baseball MTH rolling stock, my favorite is the 1960 Billy Maz World Series Box Car, a great addition to your Yankees Train.  Oops 

Only teasing buddy.

Chicago White Sox 'L' cars by MTH. They also produced a logo'd tank car and box car. 

I have one of these MTH made.

 

 

Without a doubt, it has to be the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Express.

 

The A-B-A set with 11 cars displaying players names and stats.

 

 

 

Oh wait... This was never produced.  NEVER MIND.

The Patriots! Of course, the wheels aren't round with all of that deflating!

All Black & Gold here in the suburbs of the 'Burgh.

 

Here is some video of DOC's custom Steelers train (that PCRR/Dave mentioned above):

 

 

And my Steelers train:

Not much of a fan of stick and ball sports, but this one really gets my blood pumping.

 

 

Charlie

Chicago Bears Cta cars

Yunz Pittsburgh guys are talking about the only SIX-time Super Bowl Winning Team so here’s my Steelers train with a box car commemorating each of the 6 Super Bowl wins.  I had to spread it over 3 parallel tracks because I couldn't get a complete photo of such a long train.

 

You can take a Pittsburgh guy out of the ‘Burg but you can’t take the ‘Burg out of the guy!

MTH Patriots Train.

My favorite has to be the NY Mets R-17 set from 2004. I love it because I actually rode the World Series special R-33 to game 3 of the 2000 world series. Still my favorite set to run till this day.

 

 

I don't think they make a Pittsburgh Pirate train.  I have some Pirate boxcars and they are my favorite!    I have an HO Steeler train.  However; I'd much rather have a Pirate or Penguin train.

Pirates and Steelers!!!

 

I was thinking about buying one of those Maz 9th inning home run boxcars like Dave mentioned above, but I thought the seller was asking too much for it.

Panther:

 

I don’t believe that MTH ever made a Pittsburgh Pirates train SET just freight cars and accessories.

 

Some other Pirates-related cars made by MTH that I don’t think have been mentioned yet on this thread are a Flat car with a Trailer, a Modern tank car, a Forbes Field double-door box car, a 1971 World Series Champs box car and a Roberto Clemente 3000^th hit box car.

 

Also there is a new Pirates box car in the 2015 Lionel Ready-to-run catalog.

 

BTW, I have a car decorated for the Pitt Panthers.  It’s a redecorated MPC reefer from 1983.

 

HTH,

 

Bill

None, too toyish for me

Are you kidding? I'm lucky if I get to see the St Louis Rams on TV once a year! Any branded items are simply too much to expect.

 

Even when they're supposed to be the featured game, the broadcasters always seem to find something else to put on the air. Maybe if they win two or three more Super Bowls.... even then, that Virginia State Championship Girls Field Hockey semi-final game highlight reel from 1992 is just RIVETING!

Nice.  Post a picture!  I've never been able to find Pitt decals that would fit my boxcars.

As requested, here is a photo of my Pitt Panthers car.  It’s a Lionel MPC Billboard reefer redecorated in 1983 by Seymour Knight of Pleasant Valley Processing Co. who has decorated many cars for the TCA and other groups.

 

HTH,

 

Bill

This, but substitute the Yankees version for me!

 

 

-Dave

Mr. Muffin-LOL

 

Let see, I bleed Black & Gold, Have the 2-8-0 version freight train with extra cars and passenger cars and the bridge. Guess my team!!

OK, Lionel or MTH, how about making a Pittsburgh Pirates Cole Train Express?

 

Bill

Coming from the Philadelphia area I like the Eagles train set and the Philadelphia Phillies rolling stock MTH did as well.

Add me to the OSU crowd along with the treasurer of the San Diego 3 railers...

 

... and then there's Lionel's Buckeye train set 6-30105.  I'm not at all into the red colored loco but the audio clip is better than MTH's sound file IMHO.

 

Will the Buckeyes do it again this year??? Go BUCS !!!

 

 

 

The train manufacturers have forgotten about us NHL fans.   I've seen some ho trains but I'd like a Montreal Canadiens train with 24 box cars, one for each Stanley Cup!  Maybe I'll just make one... 

-Nick

Bill, I actually thought I responded to your post about the Pitt car.   Maybe I didn't hit submit!  Awesome boxcar!   Where can I buy one??????

I never understood why the train manufactures didn't add the Pirates to their list of MLB trains.   While Pittsburgh is a small market, both the Steelers and Pirates have proven to be fan favorites around the country.    The last two Bucco wildcard games had excellent ratings.  I believe last year's wildcard game was the highest rated wildcard game in history. 

Good question.  There probably weren't very many made and its now been 32 years.  Your best bet would be at York, a Ft. Pitt TCA train meet or one of the other local train shows around the 'burg.

 

HTH and back to the Steelers game,

 

Bill

 

 

This is a MTH Boxcar.

I agree with Nick R about us NHL fans and I would like to see some Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers NBA rolling stock done and as a college hoops fan some Villanova University rolling stock as well.
