Lionel custom runs for MrMuffin'sTrains
from the 2021V1 Catalog
Based on the email traffic we have received, we have added 5 more Pacific's and a Camelback - we need your orders to get them made. For images, follow the links.
Through our friends at Lionel, we have lined up a number of really terrific custom runs out of the 2021 Volume 1 Catalog.
BTW - a lot of what we are announcing were suggested to us by our customers - so if there's something in the catalog you think we could expand on with a custom run - please let us know.
Yes, Elizabeth, more Monon
Probably the number one thing we have wanted to offer are the Monon Pacific passenger steamers and matching heavyweight passenger cars.
We are offering four Monon 4-6-2 Pacific's. The first one, #444, and the last one, #452, are what we are calling our "street" version and they ran all over the Monon, from Chicago to Louisville, through Carmel and Broad Ripple to Indianapolis. If you were a business person living in the greater Meridian-Kessler area, you would pick up the train just west of the Indiana State Fairgrounds to travel to Chicago as it headed north out of Indianapolis' Union Terminal.
Minimum order quantity by Lionel is 25 pieces, per engine. Four different versions are being offered. Lionel will paint them all in standard Monon livery with the appropriate lettering and road number markings. These engines will include all of the standard Legacy Steam features on pages 6 and 7 of the 2021V1 Catalog, plus whistle steam. They will be 22" in length, and require O54 curves.
- Lionel 21312M444 USRA Pacific - Monon #444 - Custom Run for MrMuffin'sTrains - Regularly $1499.99 - Preorder Sale Price $1349.99

So, then the next question - what are these Pacific's going to pull? Well, they pulled heavyweight passenger cars, in Pullman green and a black roof with gold lettering - so Lionel is making these cars for us as well.
These cars are appropriate for these Pacific's, our Lionel custom run 4-6-0 Consolidated (2131580) from the last catalog, and the Previously cataloged Lionel Monon Mikado (2131350) - both are still available to order - plus the MTH custom run Premier Mikado we did a few years back. They'd also be appropriate for the various custom run diesels we offered, like the C420's. The Monon was cheap - it took a long time to replace these passenger cars.
We are offering these Monon heavyweights as a six car set. The six car set are 18" heavyweights with all of the features of the GM&O cars offered in the 2021V1 catalog, pages 28 and 29. Our six-car set will include: Baggage; Combo; 2 Coaches; Club-Lounge Car and an Observation Car.
These retail from Lionel for $1200. We are offering them for $944.95. Lionel's minimum run for these cars is 100 sets - so I need your orders! We sold 130 of the Monon Red and Gray sets - so we can do this!
