@Dave Koehler posted:Just a note Weavers pairing the A class 4-4-2 with the 19934 cars is at least correct . Since Lonel's first production of the Hiawatha in the 1930's to its last one. they never did get it right!
My Lionel cars are what started it for me. Saw the cars at a decent price and snapped them up. The Lionel Atlantics were already starting to go for big bucks and then my Weaver showed up at what I thought was a reasonable price. Put the engine in front of the cars and realized that wasn’t going to work. Colors and striping was way off.
Weaver cars came along and that sealed the deal.
Baltics were also getting pricey until this Weaver became available. Colors are off but at least the striping is on.
Anyone have an MTH Baltic with Lionel cars? Curious if the colors are any closer.
Lionel cars are fine cars. I am a big fan of their 18” metal cars. Just not the coupling distance and in this case the colors.
