Any Dealers Breaking Up the Lionel Green Postwar Inspired Set, #6-82726? I do NOT want the engine but I DO want the cars. 

Why don't you buy the set and I'll give you $75 for the locs?

Fwiw, there is a train store in northern NJ, (www.train-station.com) that has a lot of postwar and typically has a couple of sets of postwar 2400 series passenger cars.  I don't have the phone number handy but you might try them unless you want the new ones.  Good luck and happy new year.

Nothing matches the original cars. The first 4-5 years were the best for the 12" cars when they had dual pickup rollers and all of the features missing since like inset vestibules and side windows. Williams are close, too bad for the Luxury Line names. They should have stuck with actual RR names.

I think I would be interested in the cars foo. Engines are nice but not what I want for now.

Why, may I ask?

I've got a set of original Postwar FAs from my 1467W set (complete set I have). Don't need two of the same engine sets. Not to mention, the engines don't really appeal to me in green. 

My Question, when will we get the sets we have ordered? Good Question?

Well, more questions...

Who did you order set from? Most of us have had them for about a week.  Have you checked with your dealer?

My order was with my dealer in Evansville Indiana....He said on Saturday, not sure when they would be delivered....Same with the NW2 CSXT Switcher....So, maybe it will come in soon....Happy New Year....

Good luck Larry!

My order from Pat's Trains made it to the west coast yesterday.

I would think many dealers may split the sets.  Many guys just want the cars.  Those engines I feel will be a hot item and getting a split should be easy.  I am a big fan of older looking trains all done up with good (can) motors and electronics package.  I still blame my friend Chris Lonero for getting me into MTH Tinplate.  

Lots of posts from Dealers about their sales....

....I've got my credit cards warmed up and want to buy the cars only. Any dealers out there wanting to make some money today and sell me just the cars? Otherwise, I'll continue to put out feelers with my "Postwar guys" for a set of originals.

E-mail Charlie or Chris at Nassau Hobbies.  Often they split sets.

Thanks to Nassau Hobbies for breaking up this set and selling me just the cars. Emailed at least a dozen dealers and only two would do it, Nassau and another dealer (and forum sponsor). Nassau's price came in over $200 cheaper for the three cars and they got the sale over the other dealer.

Thanks guys! if anyone wants just the engines, Nassau has a set!

Glad you could snag the cars.

Let's see pics later!

SJC,

   If anybody else needs this set, try Harry Neil at the upcoming Train Show in the Monroeville Convention Center this next weekend, Harry usually has a good inventory of Train Sets he splits up and the prices are outstanding.

Are you referring to the 1991 Great Lakes service station set?

All,

Got the cars. I recall some discussion about upgrading to 14V (or similar) bulbs in the cars. Can anyone provide a part number for these? I have not been able to find an obvious fit that works for the cars. Of course, I'd like to order the RIGHT part ONCE!

Thanks!
