Hi Guys, Im looking to buy Milwukee Road extruded aluminum passenger sets to compliment my legacy 261. Specifically, I'm Looking for the 6-25622 4 pack, the 6-25623 two pack, and 6-25517 diner. If anyone has these and are looking to move them along, or knows where I may find them, please let me know. Thank you very much! Todd

FYI... you might want to double-check those stock numbers... The aluminum 2-pack is likely a simple typo, as the correct number is 6-25623.
However, the dining car you mentioned is actually a heavyweight -- not aluminum. Unfortunately, the Milwaukee Road aluminum cars were produced during a period when Lionel didn't produce -- and still hasn't -- any StationSounds diners, so there are only 6 aluminum cars in that set. We'll know on Monday, Feb 2nd, if Lionel will be unveiling Legacy StationSound diners for some of these sets in their big 2015 catalog. If they do, they'll have quite a bit of "catching up" to do in that regard.

Hi David. Yes, thanks...it was a typo. Typing anything accurately on an iPad can be a real challenge. 6-25623. I am aware the diner is not a perfect match as well, but close enough for me. Thanks very much! Todd
Hi Todd,
I don't have the Lionel cars but I do have the K-Line by Lionel 5 car 21" set if you are unable to snag the Lionel 18" set.

I’m still looking for these Lionel Milwaukee cars if anyone has any, or knows where they can be found. Thank you.

Wow ! A seven year hunt, maybe this year, hang in there.
GB Train Shop 1353 Velp Ave, Green Bay, WI 54303 - YP.com (yellowpages.com) Try these guy, have bought some Milwaukee Road Hiawatha stuff from him, last I was down there, I remember seeing them on his shelf. I run Scale length M.R. pass. cars so I didnt look that close at them
I think there is also a set on Ebay

Yes, I had them and then let them go. My son has been asking for them back. 👍

I think the set on eBay is the Hiawatha set. I’m looking for the Lionel aluminum set that went with the 261 engine and had the sky top observation car. Thanks
you do know 261 was used as a freight engine, and the set some are running it with are Hiawatha cars!
Yes. I meant the Lionel cars that came out at the same time as the Lionel 261 engine. Not what ran in reality….
Thank you.
the
6-25622 4 car set and check the train shops!
Hi guys, thank you. I did find these through another forum member. I appreciate everyone’s reply.
