In 1992/1993 Fine Art Models in conjunction with the Smithsonian and Lionel produced the (2-rail) Pennsy Loewy K-4 Pacific (Lionel catalog # 6-18028) and three versions of the (2-rail) BR-50, a German prototype
BR-50 Class 2-10-0 Decapod, presumably primarily for the European market (Lionel catalog #s 6-18031, 6-18035 and 6-18036).
The 6-18031 'Bundesbahn 50644' was a post-war version of the German BR- 50 with DB (German Railways) markings under the cab window, the 6-18035 'Reischbahn 50264' was the pre-war version and the 6-18036 was the pseudo-French version with SNCF (French National Railway) markings under the cab window.
I do not remember how many of the Pennsy Loewy K-4 Pacific units were made. I believe 300 units of the BR-50 Class 2-10-0 Decapod were made - 150 of the French version and another 150 were made of the German version.
Please correct me if I am mistaken on any of the above.
My question for you is do you know of anyone who might have either of these Lionel units - Pennsy Loewy K-4 Pacific or the BR-50 Class 2-10-0 Decapod - and would be interested in selling them? Or can you please point me in the right direction as to where I might be able to locate one or both of these models for sale? I rarely see the Pennsy Loewy K-4 Pacific on Ebay and never see the BR-50 for sale on Ebay.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
