2007 TrainSet Steam Engine

Recommended Posts

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?

Which locomotive?

Here is a drawing of the coin and a pic of the passenger car

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

Nice! :)

2" sounds great. 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. :lol:

 

What ever is decided, sure they will be great. :)

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".

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.

I like that idea!

 

Thats kind of along the lines of what I was thinking also...

makes everything to scale

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..

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?

 

actually a tender would make sense if it is a larger coin ie 2" as opposed to 1.75"

 

I would think a 2" coin for the engine... 1.75" for the passenger car...

dont know if a tender is something we really need.. but just an opinion

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.

 

I, too, am unsure about a tender at this time...

If I add it to the existing coin.. 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

is this steam engine going to be the one for the 4 piece set, or will another one be designed for that.

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)
