@Jim R. posted:Yes, but Jerry, I think you are confused about stock numbers versus popular postwar locomotive descriptions. When you said you were interested in a Lionel 6-8406, you could only be referring specifically to a product made in 1984.
That product was a modern-era version of the postwar 773 Hudson, a reference to a type of model made repeatedly over a broader span of time.
I saw this for sale listed as new, but I knew nothing about it, so I asked here. That gave me the impression that it was made in 1984. I wasn't looking specifically for a 773 Hudson. I was just asking about this specific item offered for sale. As I said, I know nothing about models and numbers.
