| The trucks are not the sprung metal type due to the driving gear for the film strip on one truck and the center rail pickup on the other truck. |
| The car is illuminated. |
| The color is sort of blue-green, and is reproduced in the color brochure fairly close to actual. The color is from the Shedd Aquarium's official color, which is Pantone #327. |
| The background scenery pictures of their coral reef does not move, the film strip with the fish on it does move when the car moving. |
| The car is being made by Lionel and runs on O-Gauge or 027 three rail track. |
| The symbol in the lower center panel is the Shedd's official logo. |
| The 1st & 2nd versions are the real cars used by the Shedd to transport fish in from the coasts. The 2nd Shedd car (The Nautilus 2) is at a RR Museum in Monticello, IL. |
| We normally do not send a receipt out due to cost and time involved. Your canceled check can be kept as a receipt. |
| If you want some color flyers for the Aquarium car for yourself, friends, local hobby store, or train show please provide a mailing address and I can send you some. |
| Other cars the club has offered were a C&NW boxcar, a Sante Fe Caboose, and a BN Maxi-Stack, all made by Lionel exclusively for us. We still have a limited number of cabooses available in black & red roofs. They are $90.00 each, which includes shipping and taxes. The BN Maxi-Stacks are on order now from Lionel and we did order a few extra. We will take orders for these till the extras run out. The expected delivery is in Sept. I hope I've answered all your questions, if not please feel free to write or E-mail any further inquiries. |
