[Anonymous]

Another grandparents sad story of which I will not bore you with, but we also need a 2005 LGB Christmas car #37078. We have called all the numbers posted and to no avail. We are willing to pay a premium price if we have to as this is very important to us. Ky Train Lady

Hey,
Haven't stopped learning and haven't stopped spending! Started out with trains as a kid, moved on to R/C planes, boats , cars. Then onto real cars, my 1940 Chev was my first at 16...a keeper. Lots after that. Trains stuck...just got bigger is all. HO scale to G. Hope I never run out of ambition..or money [;)] All the best. Later eh...Brian.

I don't know if he'll ship, he wasn't the friendliest person I've met.

Thanks that did it.

FOUND IT in Tocoma

II want to warmley thank everyone for helping me find this car. It is refreshing in these times that a group such as this can come together and accomplish somthing good.
Jack, LGB was great Joe in customer service spent a lot of time with me today even found a number to LGB in Germany. Everyone should feel good that they have helped a boy to to have a happy Christmas. I'm sure there will be a smile and he'll know that his grandfather is there with him if only in his thoughts.

God Bless
Merry Christmas
Thanks again

JD

Do a web search for the numbers to:

Allied Model Trains, Los Angeles Ca

Upland Trains, Upland Ca

Gold Coast Station, Ventura Ca

Morgans Big Train Emporium, Huntington Beach Ca

all are big into LGB and might have one.

Good Luck

JD,
Your best bet is to keep calling around. LGB has shipped all of the product to retailers.
Check the retailer locater on the LGB website and call around. I'm sure there has to be a dealer out there who still has one.

Hi there,
Checked our local hobby shop and nothing here. Have another idea...will let you know. Later eh...Brian.

Jack, I was going to list them, but their web site wasn't working this morning (?).

I was going to suggest evil-bay, but I just checked and didn't see any listed. [V]

Try these?

JD,

Are you looking for a #37078 Christmas Passenger Car, 2005? I can put some feelers out to see if there are any out there. Can't guarantee anything but I will give it the old college try.

I know this sounds fake but is is not. I need to find a 2005 Christmas car for my son. it is a Christmas tradition started by my father to buy my son a dated christmas car each year. Well Dad died and for the last few years these cars are Adam's present from his Grandfather. It is hard to belive an 11 year old looks for this car each year above all else and takes great pride in setting them up under the tree . I have tryed in vain but have not been able to find one. I am not looking for a freebe and am willing to pay a fair price I just want to see my son find that car under the tree. IF anyone knows where I can find one please let me know.
Thanks
JD
