RMLI-Lionel Wonder Bread Hoppers have arrived!

Picked mine up at RMLI and they are better than expected. Good job everyone!!!!!!

Thank you Lenny,

 

I am pleased to announce that ALL RMLI-Lionel Wonder Bread PS-2 Hopper cars left the Museum this afternoon by 3:30 PM via USPS tuck. 

 

The folks at the Riverhead Post Office accepted ten tubs of Lionel cars this afternoon - great job on their part in helping move these cars through the Museum in 30.5 hours!  Thanks also to the hearty crew of Museum Volunteers who got the process done before the snowstorm: Steve Sucic, Greg Kurzseski, John Thomson, Don Hawkins and John Rooney! 

 

I'll post some photos of the cars leaving Riverhead later this evening.

There is no more Wonder bread.

 

 

I Wonder why?

 

 

 

 

 

Actually it looks like Wonder bread will continue on, along with other Hostess products based on this article published a few days ago: http://money.cnn.com/2013/02/28/news/companies/wonder-bread-flowers-foods 

Eddie G wants a Twinkie car! :-)

How about a Devil Dog tank car next

Is that how they transport that cream Ben?

This is what 600 Lionel cars look like heading out our door to your door via United States Postal Service!

 

Enjoy your cars!!

Hi any available?

 

 

GG1GUYY

Good question.

How about a Yodel sound car?

Is it any Wonder? 

Hi Ed,

 

I'm sorry GG1GUY, all cars in the RMLI Collectible Car Project are pre-order, pre-paid.  We have no more Wonder Bread cars available. 

 

You can see all of the cars we have produced since 2005 at  http://www.rmli.us/RMLI/Collectible_Cars.html

 

You can click around the website and see our current car offering, the RCA Operating Radar Car.

 

Best,

Don Fisher

Can you buy any of your special cars if you were to visit the museum?

Hello Super 'O' man,

 

No, I'm sorry, we do not carry the Collectible Club Cars in the Museum gift shops. 

 

The only way you can get one is by pre-ordering or by searching e-Bay or a local train show/swap meet.  (I've seen our older cars for sale at York and there are usually a few up on e-Bay at any given time.)

 

Please understand that we work closely with Lionel to produce these unique, very collectible cars and we sell to our Museum members as part of Lionel's Club Car Program.  Your order pre-payment provides restricted membership in the Museum and affords you the opportunity to order future cars that we produce with Lionel.

 

Thank you for your interest and good luck with your search for the older cars in our series.

 

Don Fisher

Contact us or visit our web site, we may have some of the older cars.

Thanks for the heads up Charlie,

 

The new Gargraves track looks great on the layout and runs and sounds even better!!!

Walthers had a Hostess/Wonder Bread - North American Car Co. Pd5000 pressure-differential covered hopper made in HO Scale.

 

 

If you want a different variation, you could request that Lionel put the scheme on a Cylindrical Covered Hopper or even a totally accurate model of the North American Car Co.

There is a certain amount of irony here isn't there

 

Good news it seems Winder products are doing quite well in Canada. My friends upo there assure me there are Twinkies to be had and totally non nutritious white air bread for all those who travel north

You guys have some nice cars made, Don. I especially like that White Castle.

 

 

Fear not Devil Dog and Funny Bone connoisseurs, they will be back soon as Hostess is picked apart in bankruptcy court.

Thank you EBT Jim!

 

Your kind words are appreciated.

Lionel now has the 5250 Cu. Ft. Capy. ACF Center Flow 4-bay covered Hopper,

so they can apply this scheme to the correct hopper model.

I saw two of the new releases at a train show last Sunday they both asking $90.00 for them. I have Lionel bicentennial one running on my layout now.

Good morning,

 

The Hostess Bi-Centennial Celebration car was released by Lionel in 2001 . . . . . . .

Lucky are those who have both Hostess Brands cars to run about on their layouts!

 

We are pleased to see the value of the cars appreciating so quickly.  We hope to give our collecting members a great value for their membership and interest.  Thank you to all who purchased and joined us, have fun with your cars and THINK YORK!
