Some of you remember our annual special freight car, but when Weaver closed we thought it was over with.  We couldn't find anyone who would make the small runs that we did.  That has changed, as Lionel has agreed to do it for us.  Here is our 2017 offering.

NMRRC2017LS&ICars  

These are 4 different Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad PS-1 box cars, with variations in lettering and herald color.  These will be LionScale cars, made in North Carolina, USA.  We are making only 50 of each number.  Final pricing has been set.  Check our website at www.nmrrc.org for ordering info.  Cars are scheduled to be produced by the end of the year.

Hi John:

Are these two reefer cars from the Northern Michigan Railroad Club?Bosch & D & M Railway Reefer Car

Are the new cars going to be the same scale and size? if they are Lionel Scale Cars, I believe they will be larger than these.

Can you tell us what ship you are on?  it would be fun to track the ships location, like we track commercial jets.

Is their a tracking link to your ship?

Take care: Gary

Sure are!  The Bosch beer car is from my personal research.  Those are models of early 20th century cars, so they would be smaller than the LS&I cars in real life.  

I am captain of the Lake Guardian,  you can follow it on several websites, though it relies on our transponder, which occasionally is out of range,  We are currently docked in Milwaukee, WI. You can try Boatnerd.com, which has an AIS link.

Hi John:

Just came from the WWW.NMRRC.ORG, the cars are up but the prices and order information is coming shortly.  I also found your ship. Thanks for the tips.

I hope I found the correct ship.......

Right vessel in the pic, but wrong location.  We are docked farther South in the Port of Milwaukee.

Back in 1976 I got this photo in Negaunee. Looks like "No Herald" also permissible. But, I'll get my order in tonight.

I have some pics of the "no herald" version, but I think the versions with the heralds were visually more interesting,

That's a neat photo though - all railroads with lines in the Upper Peninsula in 1976.  BTW, I lived in Negaunee then.

I am ordering mine!  I'm not missing out on this run! I am on a continual search for the E&LS boxcar and that baby is tough to find!

Thanks for the order!  Only 100 made of the E&LS car so yeah, they don't come up often.  I'm thinking this year's car will go fast and there are only 50 0f each variation.

Hi

I mailed my Non-member application today, Even paid the Michigan sales tax.  Sent it to Don at NMRCC Car Agent.  Ask him to hit me up with an e-mail, when he receives my letter.

Side bar Question, for any OGR member: Will Lionel do one boxcar, with my YT logo on it, if so please provide link.  Seems like with a digital printer this could be done. I had a company do a coffee cup with my logo.

Thank you for completely ignoring the fact that Lionel has the correct door the for Modern 50' Boxcar and can finally make new road numbers of the ESCANABA & LAKE SUPERIOR modern 50' boxcars with the correct design of door. They can produce them in the USA now.

We are not doing the E&LS boxcars again.  You are quite welcome to put up your own money and have Lionel make them.

  Gary, I spotted digitally customized on white boxcars on the Lionel site a while back; but the site STILL doesn't work well enough that I could look deep at exactly what requirements it entailed (©®™?) or note if they are still available. I think Mac was only on engines too (at least "my" era).

those are only available with the 6464 sized car bodies.

I mailed the form and a check for a couple.  Is there any way to verify that it's been received?

You don't have any contact info in your profile.  We need to know more to tell you your order status.

 

John,

Thanks for pointing that out.  Email used to be there - don't know what happened.  Also, sent an email to the address in your profile.  Thanks.
