Man thats a nice set of Muscle Cars you have with your train. Did they all come included with the train set, or did you have to buy them all seperately

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@starguard Lionel sells mostly all of the open-frame auto carriers without automobiles.

The Hot Wheel and Matchbox cars had to be purchased seperately from Meijer, Target, Toys R Us, and Walmart stores over two weeks. Then those 1968 and 1969 models in those paint schemes were no longer available.

Only the Santa Fe auto carrier came with automobiles, because it was from a train set.

Thats cool how the cars are being carried on the car carriers.

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@formulaonehotwheel On each deck of the auto carrier there are half-cylinder bumps that keep the cars in place while in motion. Plus there is clip-on, plastic guard on each end of the decks.

There are half-cylinder bumps for wheel chocks on the auto carrier decks that hold the cars in place. There are also some black plastic clip-on guards to keep them from rolling off the ends of the decks.
