DID LIONEL MAKE A CN 40 TON ACF STOCK NUMBERED 17706? CAN’T SEEM TO FIND IT IN CATALOGS, ALTHOUGH REPORTED BY A DEALER THAT ONE WAS MADE. ANY HELP HERE?
THANKS
Can’t find that number in the Greenberg’s 2010 pocket priceguide for Lionel. That item could have been made to sell at Target stores, I have a few items that are not in the Greenberg’s book also and were bought at Target store.
If the item is in a Lionel box and the numbers match the boxlid, there is a very strong chance the item isn’t cataloged for some reason, however it is made by Lionel.
Even some pre-war stuff don’t make it to the price guide books, however the stuff has been around for almost 65 years and not in a pricegide?[:^)]

It’s not in the 2011 book either. But there is a 17714 CN in there. Here is a Grzyboski’s listing for a 17706:

However, it is described as Great Northern. According to the book, this should be a 17710. Nothing seems to match up.
Here is what I found for the ACF Stockcars:
6-17704 - B&O ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17705 - Chicago, Burlington & Quincy ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17706 - no item found
6-17707 - PRR ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17708 - CP Rail ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17709 - UP ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17710 - GN ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17711 - C&O ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17712 - Norfolk & Western ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17713 - Missouri-Kansas-Texas ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17714 - Canadian National ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17715 - Missouri Pacific ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17716 - Chicago Great Western ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
6-17717 - UP ACF 40 Ton Stock Car
So either he has it mislabled or it could be something from a set break-up?
