Lionel Norfolk Southern Oil can train.
Posted by laz 57 on Friday, September 11, 2009 10:25 AM

I just saw on the Lionel Site that the NS Oil can set was shipped.  Anyone have confirmation on this?  Any LHS get them in yet?  I've been waiting on this set for a while, Thanks.

laz57,

I don't know the answer to your question, but I want to say that if your asking about the Dash 9 diesel and five tankers, man that's a beautiful set.

If, you're gonna' buy it, then good luck and enjoy them babies!

Thanks RALPH.  I phoned earlier this afternoon, with my LHS, BARRYs TRAINS in Elizabethtown, Pa., and he was going to pick the up today so hope to have them next week?  Get ready CHIEF.

RALPH,

  I got it Wednesday, real nice set.  If it rains tomorrow I will get it on the track and take some pics.  Beauty of an engine and nice cars.  Got it for a real good price from BARRYs TRAIN SHOP in Elizabethtown, Pa.

Can hardly wait.  BTW:  Found a buddy with a new Lionel MP Heritage engine at a great price.  Suppose to be delivered tomorrow.  The one with the Big EAGLE on the side [wonder why I want that one?Whistling ].

I just missed seeing one of these oil can trains at my LHS.  The guy who ordered it picked it up a couple of hours before I stopped in today.  Drat.

Miss Edna has the add on tank cars.  Can buy them and, with the item coming from you, all combined would be a big savings in $$$ over price on her whole set.  No joke.   You are a great buddy.

CHIEF,

  Get them if you can.  I am running mine again tonite and they are real good with 5 cars.  I have been looking for add ons but can't find them.  Gonna call BARRY on Monday and see if I can make a deal with him?  If I buy another set and trade him for the middle cars in your break up set and give him the front and end tankers?  Maybe he'll trade and maybe not but WOW, I am impressed whole heartedly with this set.  It's a home run!!!

Enjoy your engine.

LAZ, got the box in livingroom.  Just got in from Mayors' Assoc.  Hope to open it tonight.  Tired.  Had full day.  Thanks for making this happen.

Gentlemen,

I wish you all well, with your new and beautiful Oil Can Sets.
For now, I'll have to be like a kid in a candy store and just admire them sleek beauties in the catalouge and on the comp. screen.

Maybe, if I'm good, Santa might get a hint!

Good Luck and Enjoy,

Ralph
