So my Christmas order from North Lima Train Works arrived today (actually a replacement order for the original order lost by FedEx) in the big box.
The first part of this LIONEL Union Pacific parts order were the “Chatham” coach; “Clifton” combo car; “Plainfield” vista dome coach; and, large door baggage car shells, along with their respective interiors and frames. The trucks and couplers were ordered and received when LIONEL had its 50% off sale in November. (Top to bottom are the "Plainfield," "Clifton," "Chatham," and large door baggage cars.)
These four UP cars were part of the LIONEL 6-31712 Anniversary set of seven cars and Alco diesels. I initially bought the three I already had as donors for NP North Cost Limited and Great Northern Empire Builder smooth-sided, 15” aluminum passenger cars, but decided they are too nice to paint and chose, instead, to complete the seven car set and find donor E or F units to repaint to match.
During the LIONEL sale, I also bought Pullmor motors and F-3 front motor trucks for them. For some reason, the rear motor trucks were not available or over-priced compared to NLTW’s price, so my NLTW order also included two rear F-3 motor trucks.
I feel fortunate to have acquired the motors and trucks at favorable prices since they are replacement components for those same items that were lost in a recent move from GA to VA. There were a few miscellaneous parts also, but that's all for now.
And, again, props to NLTW for getting to me so quickly these replacements for those lost by FedEx.
(I know....it won't run on 027 curves)
