The Lakeshore Limited - Terrific Tinplate Treasure
The Lakeshore Limited - Terrific Tinplate Treasure train set is a first-of-its-kind offer from the Lionel Collector’s Club of America. Because we’re a club attuned to collectors with diverse interests – including niche collectors with an affinity for tinplate trains – we can offer a limited-edition, modern remake of a vintage train set to them. The LCCA has decided to place an initial order with the factory for 250 train sets. To avoid disappointment to club members, LCCA has pre-arranged an option to adjust the production run up to a maximum of 500 units. Train sets will be produced according to the number of orders received by the deadline. Limit: one train set per member. The line-up includes the Commodore Vanderbilt locomotive, tender, baggage car, coach, and observation car. An optional matching add-on coach – “Madison Avenue” – is available.
