I'm making a Ford list (and checking it twice!) What have I missed?

There is a K-Line Die Cast 2 bay hopper - Not sure of the number - Listed as a 3 car set - I have one of the die cast cars.

There are 2 different Plymouth Switcher Ford sets...

Both have 6 gondolas - 4 black, 2 blue

One has a switcher that is black (K-line 1504)

One has a switcher that is Yellow and Orange (lionel 6-22334)... aka loco #2

..I think I have a new one of the Lionel sets that I never got around to opening!  Interested?

How about the dealership?

Weaver also had a number of Ford Racing NASXAR drivers....not sure these count....but they are Ford!!

Redrockbill, my first car was a 1967 blue mustang convertible. I would sure like to get that in O Gauge.

Do you know if that exists, and if so, who I can buy it from and how much?

There is this 1994 TTOS Convention Ford Tank Car 6-52032 with Richard Kughn’s signature on the side of the tank. Not sure how many have a Richard Kughn autograph on the front of the box as this one does?

How about this one?

You definitely need the Ford dealership! Lionel  6-21446 or K-Line k-42417

There is also a die cast Ford scale gondola by K-Line.  Atlas had a plastic body 2 bay Ford open hopper - two different road numbers.  I believe that Atlas is reissuing another set of these Ford hoppers for 2nd or 3rd quarter next yer?

What's the item number on that Weaver car? I could use one. After all I have this Thunderbird.

And my wife has this Mustang.

So I could use this on my layout.

and the FORD rotating sign...

The Ford using Plymouth makes my head hurt, lol. Fun, but I doubt that happened. Since your into Ford, you might want to consider ol' Henry once owned DT&I and electrified it. He also Had a large chunck if not controlling interest in the Virginian. The goal was electrification from the port to Detroit to bypass the raw material shipping done by boat. You've got to believe his buddy Edison had a lot of influence on him. He could never secure the line that owned the bridge between the two lines though.(forget which). Anyhow, even after Ford sold off DT&I, a strong relationship remained. All my memories of DT&I yards and lines are full of Fords on carriers. For projects.... These with the Ford grill are 125t (G.E.) One had been reflagged and survives on display (Wisconsin?) Gramps had two 44t from an unsactioned evening run of 44t that looked similer to this photoshopped pic.. One was blue, one was black. I guess the were either the best representation of the later paint of the 125t or Ford used another type of center cab later. ...I'll have to try post again...no attachment tool showing.

 

Some of these arches are still standing along cetain stretches; the orignal design is quite ornate at the footings 

I just stumbled on this one recently.

125t (one was actually either 135t, maybe 165-175t...?...Groggy tired this a.m.)

P-shopped 44t, the originals Gramp's had were a drk  blue & a black one, no logo ring. If you land one some day, (doubt many were done; but 6+ to ? ) I'd love a picture. 

I think K-line issued 2 bay Ford hoppers as a 4-pack in the same box.  I am not sure if that’s the four hoppers you referred to or not.  I would tell you more but I sold them a few years ago.

I agree that you need a dealership. Here's my buddy's (Lionel?) version. He also has a bunch of Fords in the lot across the street.

MTH has several trains featuring Fords. Here are a few:

- Nothing new here, but the real MP-15 was  EMD, of course, and EMD was a division of General Motors. That sort of thing always hits me as a disconnect.

- The Plymouth switcher is funny for an almost similar reason; the Plymouth automobile was the entry-level Chrysler product, down with Ford and Chevy. Now, a Plymouth locomotive has nothing to do with a Plymouth automobile, and was made by a totally unconnected company. But seeing that "Plymouth" above with the "Ford" logo on it is indeed chuckle-worthy.

None of which has much if anything to do with your "Ford" RR collection, I am sure. But - Lionel offered a Mopar set years ago; not a great set, but it appealed to me for similar reasons that the Ford stuff does you. I kind of wanted one as a curiosity, but never bought one; that GM switch engine at the head end of a Mopar set was a disconnect that I couldn't get past. Had it been an Alco I could have handled it - especially since Walter Chrysler was a RR man before an automobile man, and used to manage the production at Alco's Pittsburgh Works.

A collector's journey is a strange trip, dude.

REDROCKBILL   then maybe you might have seen the model cars that fomoco had of its current year models? I can remember them from the 1950's era they cried to me saying play with me I just sit here collecting dust lol
