The Railroad Museum of Long Island announces the creation of its 26th Lionel Collectible Car: the 50th Anniversary, Long Island Wine Country Unibody Tank Car. SKU 24-01030
Fifty years ago in 1973, Alex and Louisa Hargrave planted the first Long Island vineyard just half a mile west of Cutchogue’s LIRR Station. Soon after, pioneering investors, grape-growers, and winemakers followed suit. Today, fifty-seven wine producers are dedicated to the pursuit of making exceptional world renowned Long Island wines.
On this, the Fiftieth Anniversary of Long Island Wine Country, the Railroad Museum of Long Island proudly celebrates our “Old-World” vitis Vinifera grapes, “Grown on Long Island,” with a finely detailed “O Scale” collectible tank car built by Lionel. The decorated Unibody tank is supported on a metal frame with diecast trucks, end platforms, safety railings and stamped metal sides.
This will be a very limited edition collectible, received only by those who order and pay for the car on or before Monday, October 23, 2023. Your order enrolls you in our “RMLI Collectible Car Club” and you will receive future announcements about the cars we produce for our Museum’s club members. Remember, this is a one-time offer for this particular tank car, after October 23rd no more orders will be taken and this car will not be re-issued. These cars are not available in stores!
Please visit www.rmli.org to download an order form for our 50th Anniversary, Long Island Wine Country Tank Car.
Your collectible car purchase will not only bring you a highly detailed Lionel scale model, but will help sustain the all-volunteer Railroad Museum of Long Island. Your purchase supports our education and restoration programs, care for our collections and the development of new exhibits, and importantly, the care, maintenance and operation of the Historic Lionel Layout.
Thank you for your interest,
