I have another question on a train set. It is basically a lionel, new in the box, Nabisco 1983 set. Best I can find it was a set from lionel that was decorated by Pleasant Valley Process Co. in PA. They decorated and I think screen printed it after thay got them from lionel. It has a 8010 type engine painted light blue with Nabisco on it. It has three billboard reefers, Chips Ahoy, Fig Newton,and a Ritz car. It has a work caboose lettered for Nabisco and track, connector, and transformer. It would be a very colorfull train going around the track. As I said earlier it's new in the box and I read they made minimum of 100 and somewhere less than 500.

Does anyone have one of these, have you seen one, or know anything about it.  Thanks in advance    Wayne
