NMRRC Lake Superior & Ishpeming box cars by Lionel - Still a few left

Hi John:

Yes I remember, I have several of the club cars,

I check the web page, when will you be posting the information.

Gary

Nice to see the club back producing a club car!  These will be a must have.

I'll get excited when I see one for Lake Michigan. 

I would like to get one or two of those boxcars. If they are not sold out. 

Andrew

I'm still on my ship.  I'm waiting for the club to get that up on line.  Andrew,  the club hasn't started taking orders yet - as soon as they do I will post it here.  I'm getting a 4 pack for myself! 

 

With only 200 boxcars total being produced, by the time I get around to ordering, they might be sold out.

I hope to make an order too.

 

Just talked to the officers of the club, they are waiting to hear from Lionel on the final shipping costs.  When we know that we can set our prices and set up for orders.  hopefully soon!

I have a few of these and would like another. Interesting territory these ran in....

Hi John:

Are these two reefer cars from the Northern Michigan Railroad Club?

Are the new cars going to be the same scale and size? if they are Lionel Scale Cars, I believe they will be larger than these.

Can you tell us what ship you are on?  it would be fun to track the ships location, like we track commercial jets.

Is their a tracking link to your ship?

Take care: Gary

Sure are!  The Bosch beer car is from my personal research.  Those are models of early 20th century cars, so they would be smaller than the LS&I cars in real life.  

I am captain of the Lake Guardian,  you can follow it on several websites, though it relies on our transponder, which occasionally is out of range,  We are currently docked in Milwaukee, WI. You can try Boatnerd.com, which has an AIS link.  

Hi John:

Just came from the WWW.NMRRC.ORG, the cars are up but the prices and order information is coming shortly.  I also found your ship. Thanks for the tips.

I hope I found the correct ship.......

Right vessel in the pic, but wrong location.  We are docked farther South in the Port of Milwaukee.  

Lionel also has the PS-1 40' Boxcars that are super-detailed and made in China. That version of the PS-1 40' boxcar has not been run in either Lake Superior & Ishpeming or Escanaba and Lake Superior. Should the China built model be produced in the LS&I and E&LS schemes? 

Andrew

Really wasn't feasible to use the China cars, and it would have raised the price considerably.  Plus we prefer Made in America.

If the detailed PS-1 made in China in the LS&I and E&LS schemes and other numbers were sold through the LIONEL Catalogs would anybody mind? 

Andrew

The LionScale Modern Exterior-Braced 50' Boxcar now have the standard Youngstown doors available.

Will the ESCANABA & LAKE SUPERIOR boxcars be made with the right door in the USA? 

Andrew

 

Those sure look to be nice cars! Looking forward to seeing the final product.

Order forms are now available on the NMRRC website and also attached here.
