Description

K-LINE 4670E NEW YORK CENTRAL 20th CENTURY LIMITED SCALE 21" EXTRUDED ALUMINUM 4-PACK NIB. Shipped with UPS or FedEx.
I am the original owner of this beautiful K-Line NYC 20th Century Limited Scale 21" Extruded Aluminum 4-Pack NIB, which I purchased from Chris Gans, the terrific owner of Nicholas Smith Trains, a number of years ago, which remains one of the top O Gauge dealers in the country. I am selling this awesome K-Line passenger set, as I am thinning my collection.
The 20th Century Limited was one of the premier NYC passenger trains of the steam and first generation diesel era. These K-Line passenger cars are some of the most beautiful ever produced by any manufacturer in O Scale.
Known by many as the world’s ultimate streamliner, a crimson carpet was rolled out for passengers of the New York Central’s 20th Century Limited, giving rise to the phrase “red-carpet” treatment. Extra-fare opulence, luxurious detail and reliability were experienced by the passengers of this 1938 streamliner.
Die cast four-wheel trucks, fast-angle wheels and die cast metal couplers with hidden uncoupling mechanism ensure these cars operate as smoothly as the on-board accommodations between New York and Chicago. There is a full-list of the details of these passenger cars below.
This 20th Century Limited 4-Pack is extremely rare and one of the most sought after in the hobby. Finding this set NIB is virtually impossible.
The cars contained in this 4-Pack are as follows:
K4670-43123 Coach #3123
K4670-41050 "Port of Windsor" Sleeper
K4670-40400 Diner #400
K4670-41063 "Sandy Creek" Observation
I very recently opened the K-Line shipping box containing this 4-Pack for the first time to take pictures of the cars. Please note I did not remove any of the cars from its K-Line box. Each car remains sealed in its K-Line box with the tape from the factory.
One issue K-Line passenger cars have had is that the figures inside have a tendency to come loose. The good news is that no figures are loose in any of the cars in this set. However, I cannot guarantee that all of the figures will remain attached during shipping. Should any become loose, the bottoms of the cars can be removed and any loose figures can be glued back using Gorilla or a comparable glue.
I rate these passenger cars as C-9 and their K-Line boxes as P-9 under the TCA Grading Standards.
Please note that I always place "FRAGILE - HANDLE WITH CARE" stickers on shipping box. Finally, the package w
ill be insured and a signature will be required upon delivery, for the buyer's and my protection, given the value of the cars being shipped.
