LIONEL 6-9576-77-78-79-80 & 9588. BURLINGTON ALUMINUM PASSENGER SET. 6 CAR SET FUNDIMENSION SERIES. WHERE ELSE WILL YOU FIND ONE LIKE THIS?? Lionel’s MPC era was from 1970 to 1986. In 1970 General Mills bought the inventory, the right to use the Lionel name and the manufacturing rights. General Mills relocated Lionel to be right across the road from the Model Plastics Corporation (MPC) in Mount Clemens Michigan. It looked like a brilliant move to capitalize on the extensive plastic molding capabilities of MPC for Lionel. General Mills created it’s Fundimensions Toy group in 1973 that included Lionel, MPC, Kenner, Parker Brothers, and Craft Master. This ended in 1986 when Detroit real estate developer Richard Kughn bought Lionel and launched Lionel into the Modern Era. Lionel’s 1980 catalog includes the Collector Series Texas Zephyr set. There were five streamline passenger cars in the Texas Zephyr collection: Baggage Silver Pouch, two Coaches Silver Halter and Silver Gladiola, Vista Dome Silver Kettle and Obs Silver Veranda. Unlike some Lionel Collector Series offerings, the Texas Zephyr was not packaged together in set form. Lionel’s 1980 Fall Collector flyer included an additional Vista Dome No. This Burlington, extruded aluminum Silver Dome Vista Dome passenger car was manufactured by Lionel in 1980. It was an un-catalogued add-on car to the earlier 5-car “Texas Zephyr” set. This “add-on” car was the 6th and final car in that series. 1980 Collector Series Burlington Texas Zephyr Aluminum Passenger Car Set Burlington Silver Pouch Baggage Car No. 6-9576 Burlington Silver Halter Passenger Car No. 6-9577 Burlington Silver Gladiola Passenger Car No. 6-9578 Burlington Silver Kettle Vista Dome Car No. 6-9579 Burlington Silver Veranda Observation Car No. 6-9580 Burlington Silver Dome Vista Dome Car No. Condition: NEW IN BOX!!
