[balidas]

You know it'll be worth it tho. Such a small price to pay.

Thanks I will.

 I already picked up the two Lionel box cars 9470 and 9422. The wife don't know yet so when she finds out I may have to live in the dog house

Tks,

Thanks I did find the MTH numbers and they are 20-93086 box cars with numbers 61389 & 61390

20-98349 coil cars with numbers 7159 & 7164 but have not found any of them on the web. I will keep looking.

Kev, Railgraphics might be a source for your decals.

[KRM]

That helps a lot!!! Thanks,

The orange and green Lionel boxcar is #9422 and the green Chicago Beltline is 9470. It seems like the 9470 is a bit harder to find (around here anyway). Here's a shot of the two of them on our club layout:

Don't know the MTH numbers; perhaps they are on the MTH product locater.

Hope this helps,

Yes EJ&E used The Outer Belt, Chicago Belt and "The J"

 Do to yhave any idea of the Lionel numbers for those cars and the MTH numbers?

 Thanks,

 Kev.

Lionel did 2 boxcars, one in orange and green, and the other just green. The green one isn't listed as EJE, but something like Chicago Belt.

 

MTH did a coil car, I think in two numbers. It's a black car with orange cover. They also listed a Baldwin locomotive A-B set, but I'm not sure if it was ever produced.

 

That's all I know of,

Anyone seen O gauge EJ&E stuff? I grew up next to The J and would sure like to have some rolling stock on my 3 rail layout.

I am going to make my General Models Corp EMD that has no lettering into a EJ&E switcher using some decals I ordered.

I see it in HO but have not found anythink but some decals so far in O.

 Thanks,

 Kevin.
