I found this on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Lionel-31737-Napa-Valley-Wine-Train-FPA-4-AA-NIB_W0QQitemZ260406289797QQcmdZViewItemQQptZModel_RR_Trains?hash=item3ca16ca585&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

I don’t remember seeing a NAPA Valley Wine Train in a Lionel Catalog. Has anyone else seen it in a catalog? If so, which Lionel Catalog?

Thanks for your help.

The Napa Valley Wine Train is an attractive set. A set was also made by K-Line twice in the past. The first from the early 1990’s features the former Kusan Alco’s as an A-A combo with a matching set of Streamliners, with passenger window stripes. A second was done early in the 00’s, with more “bells and whistles” including the A-A Alco combo with upgraded details, and a set of Streamliners with interior details. The handsome color scheme was also used for the prototype of the John Wanamaker Train that was proposed by K-Line, but dropped when Wanamakers was sold to the May Company. Ken
