+ranger216 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I have had people inquire into a steam engine coin to go with my set of "trainset geocoins".. I found a really nice one to make a coin of.. This will be seperate from the 2007 Ranger216 4 coin train set which will be offered later in the year Is there still an interest in this coin? Quote

+cachegame Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I really love the last ones... I'm IN! Quote
+Droo Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Count me in! D-man actually based on "The General" A cutout of the General like your past trainset? If so count me in. Quote

+MommyFinder Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Definitely in for at least a couple! Quote
+UtChaz & Family Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Would like to get two or three myself Quote
+SeabeckTribe Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Sounds like a great idea. I'm in! Quote
+OshnDoc Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Is it going to be 3D ? Either way, I am in, I liked the first set. Quote
danoshimano Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 actually based on "The General" I'll take a couple. (I bet it would be amazing in Black Nickel!) Quote
+ranger216 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 I had also comtemplated a passenger car to go with the steam engine.. we have a vintage steam engine here they are refitting and they just got an awesome passenger car to go with it... I will post the pic of that later today also and tell me what you think Quote

Here is a drawing of the coin and a pic of the passenger car Quote
+ranger216 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Here are some further considerations: The coin will be available in the same metals as the original set.. (Nickel, Silver, Copper, Bronze, & Gold) If you have an 06 set that is numbered and you want this coin numbered... just tell me your metal and number.... I am not yet sure what size I want this coin.. pricing looks like this for the nickel: 1.75" - $8.00 2" - $8.50 I will go with the consensus of the group Please post and let me know Quote

That would be a good size. Both cars done would be nice too. Would like our 2 numbers in the gold for continuity and this would look great in nickel so would be in for that too. What ever is decided, sure they will be great. Quote
+freespirit1402 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 would have some again this year (had two sets last year) with same numbers if possible. would like the 2" size Quote
+ranger216 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Will start working on the passegner car.. hope to have someting to sow you soon Quote
+The Dream Cachers Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Please make my set numbered #24 in Silver, same as 2006 set I ordered! Thanks! 2" would be nice. Edited January 17, 2007 by The Dream Cachers Quote
+ranger216 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Please make my set numbered #24 in Silver, same as 2006 set I ordered! Thanks! 2" would be nice. I will post a reservation page as soon as I have the passenger car graphic prepared Quote
+SeabeckTribe Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Those are going to look cool! My set is number 004. I would be interested in copper and maybe bronze. Lummieh Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Whatever the sizes on the last coins were would be fine by me. Quote
+MommyFinder Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) I have copper #022 and bronze #015 (yes, I'll put that on the reservation form, just wanted to make a note of it here)! The steam engine looks really cool, might have to order a couple of extra sets, too! I'd prefer 1.75" to match the last set, but I will order the same if you go with 2". Edited January 17, 2007 by MommyFinder Quote
+9Key Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I'd like a set. I think 1.75" is plenty large enough. Quote
+tokencollector Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Given the relative length of a passenger car (or the private car shown) relative to an engine(or an engine tender combo), I might suggest that the engine be a 1.75" coin with the car being a 2" coin. Quote

I like that idea! Thats kind of along the lines of what I was thinking also... makes everything to scale Quote
+tokencollector Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 After making my comment and looking back at the proposed coin . . . is a tender in the works - either separate or part of the steam engine? Quote
+Bill & Tammy Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 As an avid O gauge collector and railfan I would definately be interested in this or any coin that has the theme. Would love to see a Lionel coin come around the bend sometime. Quote
+The Dream Cachers Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) I'd like to please add 1 set in Bronze to my order - same number #24 ! Thanks! Re-casting my vote for 1.75", same as last year. Edited January 17, 2007 by The Dream Cachers Quote
glennk721 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Greets, I would like to add these coins to my 2006 sets as well . This Steam Engine front side of coin is leading to the right. The sets I have in hand the front of the Engine is leading to the left , Modern trains it's not uncommen to have a Engine Front and Rear, But not in the era of the Steam Engine ? Just a observation . EDIT typo.. Edited January 17, 2007 by glennk721 Quote

+slowdownracer Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Definitely want a steam engine to go with my set from last year. I think I have the nickel set, #015. Put me down for one. And 1.75" sounds good. Tender car is a "maybe". Will have to see it first. Quote

I think it will take away from its general appearance,, to make it a 2nd coin ..I dont think I want to do that I am really wanting to do that pass car along with the steam engine... unless the community WOULD prefer the tender to the pass car at this time Quote

No..... The 07 set will be the same as the 06 set as they will be current rolling stock.. ie.. tanker, reefer, auto carrier, etc.. the steam engine and passenger car will be vintage railroad cars... The 07 set will be made available sometime in midyear and I will open another thread closer to that time to explore what the community wants as fasr as rolling stock.. I got a great drawing from Gridlox last year and I know I want to use that theme.(graffiti on one of the cars) Quote
+fairyhoney Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 G R E A T idea. I'd buy 2 sets. Thanks!!! Quote
