Fig Newton boxcar?

Not that I know of.

GARRETT76,

     I am pretty sure Frank's Roundhouse made a Fig Newton O Scale Boxcar. It was traditional sized like a 6464 boxcar.

     I may have one, I know I had a Oreo, Chips Ahoy, Teddy Grahams and a Fig Newton. I worked for Nabisco for twenty years.

Franks's roundhouse cars are from the AMT molds, and are larger than 6464 cars. They are more like the size of RailKing box cars.

Darn tootin', there was a Fig Newton. I think maybe it was only available in a 1983 Lionel Nabisco set, which may have been a limited company offering (although sometimes these type sets were offered to the public through a company product catalog, but probably not this one). I imagine these are very scarce.

SO COOL, and great cookies to boot!

The Nabisco set as pointed out by Breezinup are Lionel pieces, however they are all redecorated by PVP and were not sold thru Lionel.  The creator of this set did an article for Collectors Gallery in OGR, Dec 1991.

Incidently, as an aside, one of the Lionel Nabisco cars, the no. 9883 Oreo, is a particularly beautiful car. Lovely graphics, and even nicer than the photo when seen in person. I don't think anyone would be disappointed if they picked one up. By the way, for those running scale, these reefers are longer than traditional boxcars, and look fine in a scale consist. Another winner from the MPC days.

Oreos and Fig Newtons, huh? You're going to need a milk car.

 I heard Volkswagen was working on a car that runs great on cookies.

It goes far; Fig Newtons.

  That many cookies and that much milk " is dangerous and inconvenient",  but "your darn tootin'" I love me Mickey's fav.,  the Fig Newton.   (A Talladega Nights & 50s slogan mix.)

A Big Fig /Cookie Man operating gondola chase car would be too much to hope for I suppose

Make those calls John

I would love to get one of those

absolutely!  My 2016 Christmas layout was dual track.  the inner loop featured a milk and cookies consist.  There are some pics at this link about 1/2 - 2/3 way down the page

Someone has listed that set every now and again on Detroit Craigslist. I think a former Lionel line worker. Not cheap though, they price high imo. I'll let you know if it pops up or I notice another train from the same poster.

to clarify, I'm just interested in the Fig Newton car

The raspberry kind were my favorite back in the '90's. Now they just make a "triple berry"!
