I know the 17331 (which you don't have on the list) was the first one to come out. Then, the 17350 was the next one to come out. After that, I haven't bought any more. I pre-ordered a couple in the new 2004 catalog, but I think that will do me for a while on the milk cars.

Gary Seven, they all have cows. I guess availability and price are the key. Lionel made an operating Hoods car last year. I hear it's cute. BTW, will this thread make 28 pages? Chuck

For those keeping score, I ended up getting the 6-17350. Should arrive 4/1.

I will be my first Lionel rolling stock in a while. I have been an Atlas O devotee recently, but enjoy all brands

I don't think I will be ordering any more from Lionel for a while. I am going to start buying Williams, much cheaper, and good looking.
