I don't have the sku numbers at my disposal, but add-on cars were offered in the Heritage catalog, 1998, as you pointed out and were add-ons to the already catalogued UP GP9 set in 1996.
I think the cars would look fantastic behind the turbine, though. C'mon Lionel or MTH...Milwaukee Road 261! Heath B. |

I believe there was a total of 10 UP die cast ore cars produced, as a fellow club member recently sold his entire set. Not 100% sure, though.
If you're breathing and can attain verticality, everything else is a minor annoyance. MVS. |

Lionel cataloged the Union Pacific GP9 Unit Ore Train Set (11837) in its Fall 1997 heritage catalog. The set came with 6 ore cars and a caboose. Also cataloged were a powered GP9 and dummy set to extend the entire set to three diesels and 6 ore cars. In the 1998 heritage catalog, the 4 car add on pack was cataloged (11844, the topic of the thread). So the total set length comes out to three GP9s, 2 powered and one dummy, 10 ore cars, and a caboose.
    While these would look pretty good behind the Veranda, Lionel actually cataloged a UP freight car 4-pack for it in 1998 (21757).   This message has been edited. Last edited by: NickyBigBoy, -Nicholas Anthony D'Alessandro |

Nicholas, Thanks for the history and setting me straight on these ore cars. Although they were designed to go with the GP9 set, I still think they would look good behind the Veranda as well. Do you happen to know the catalog numbers for the 1st 6 ore cars? You piqued my interest regarding the matching set for the Veranda. I checked the 3 1999 Lionel catalogs and could not find them. Do you know which catalog they appeared in and what the catalog number is? Thanks... |

My bad, it was 1998 volume two. It's the set under the pacemaker set; I have it pictured now. Item # is 21757.
I don't think it's the item numbers, but the 1997 catalog does say that the 6 ore cars were numbered UP64861-UP64866. Also of note: There were actually 5 1999 catalogs. They were 1999 heritage, 1999 preview, then vol. I, II, and III. Each catalog had a totally different product line up. -Nicholas Anthony D'Alessandro |

Nicholas,
Thanks for the follow-up. I found the matching set in the '98 catalog. It just does not float my boat as much as the ore cars do. The challenge will be finding those 1st 6 cars for separate sale. Michael |

Check Ebay regularly. Sellers usually do break-ups.
Trainz actually has the 11844 set listed right now. -Nicholas Anthony D'Alessandro |
