Gondolas came with nothing, barrels, or in the case of "work trains" barrels and tools. LCL containers were ALWAYS separate sale.

Hi Rob.  Thank you!

I bought/won a LCT green 212 today   I also bought some of the large barrels for it.  This is going to make the train a conventional/traditional LCT 400e and eight 200 series freight cars, half of which are LCT and half MTH Lines.  I am happy with this. 

I have been think about it, and there are many valid options on this, including unrestored or restored originals and but for me (1)lI ike the reproductions, (2) I like the LCT "Lionel Lines" badges, but also (3) I like the idea of having the MTH name on some of the cars.  I feel like the train is an homage to the originals, but also respects MTH for their part in making the reproductions over the years.  I feel like this set will stand up well in the test of time, and I hope it is passed down for generations via my daughter for years to come under the Christmas tree.
