The Gadsden Pacific Division (formerly of the TTOS) has produced ore cars to raise money to support their Toy Train Operating Museum in Tucson, Arizona. These six cars were offered, one each year, from 1990 through 1995. The GPD continues to offer museum cars each year. Four of these six cars are still available from the GPD.

This six car set is new and none have been run. Each car is packaged in the original box in new condition with the original packing materials AND the original shipping carton in new condition without any mailing labels or alterations. The shipping cartons have been opened at one end.

This is a great find for a collector of Lionel ore cars.

Cars Included In Set:

• Year-1990   #6-17881 Phelps Dodge (interestingly, the box label has "Gadsden" spelled incorrectly as "Gasden") (GPD Price-$90)
• Year-1991   #6-17886 Cyprus (GPD Price-$80)
• Year-1992   #6-19961 Inspiration Consolidated Copper Company (GPD Price $90)
• Year-1993   #6-52011 Tucson, Cornelia and Gila Bend R.R. Co. (GPD Price-Not Available)
• Year-1994   #6-52027 Magma (interestingly, the box label has the year 1993 listed, car is marked 1994) (GPD Price-$55)
• Year-1995   #6-52071 CBR Copper Basin Railway (GPD Price-Not Available)

Just four of these cars if purchased from the GPD would cost $315!
