Address on boxes reads PO Box 2176, LaGrange, IL, 60525. Interesting to note that box says Assembled in USA. Note, not Manufactured in USA. The two maroon cars are numbered 1611 and 1612, corresponding with the model numbers on the boxes. Both are lettered Chicago Line RR. The two blue cars are numbered 3228 and 3230, both lettered US Coast Guard. Note that two of the models in the photos seem to have swopped boxes - all four models and boxes were being offered by the same eBay seller. How large was the entire range? How long ago did production commence, and cease? I understand that cars were advertised, and available, in 1990. CTT reviewed lamps in 1994 (see below).

The November 1994 issue of Clasic Toy Trains magazine carried a review of Chicago Line No. 37 Boulevard Lamps, and described them as replicas of Lionel's No. 35. The lights are described as 6 1/8th inches high, and available in aluminum, gray, green or black. Made in USA.
