Hey Ya'll

Here is a Brain Puzzler for you.

Is it possible to have a Large (not O gauge) Blue Comet with three passenger cars for under $200.

Reply soon and when there are at least 5 replies I will post the answer and post who got it right, if any one does.

Hey Ya'll

Well, 22 veiws later, no one relpied, so I'll give you ther answer.

Question : Is it possible to have a Large (not O gauge) Blue Comet with three passenger cars for under $200 ?

Answer : Yes, it may not be 3-rail, but Bachmann put out a Big Hauler passenger Set in the Blue Comet Road about 6 or 7 years ago.

It came with a 4-6-0 and tender, a Combine, and an Observation. An add-on coach was availible to make a 3-car set.

Cheers,
steel rails

Doyou mean the Royal Blue set in B & O livery? I remember that one, but not a CNJ Blue Comet.

Hello Steel Rails! I would have guessed the Hallmark Lionel Blue Comet Christmas Ornament from a few years ago. Pretty clever of you.[;)] Take Care.

What Palallin said makes sense to me. I model G scale as well as O gauge, and Bachmann did not make the Blue Comet, but made the Royal Blue. Now, I would have guessed what Keith said, the Hallmark Christmas ornament.
