Reply to "Lionel MPC freight cars."

At the time MPC were a breath of fresh air. We had small 027 cars or expensive 6464 cars. With fast angle wheels you could pull a long, long string of cars with a small 027 engine. People seem to remember the bright colored cars more then any others. MPC made many cars in real railroad colors. They made high cube box cars and other cars that Lionel never made. If I were putting a set together today for a child just getting into the hobby I would go with MPC cars and maybe a Lionel or MTH small engine. Don
