WELLSPRING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC
EMPLOYEE CHRISTMAS CARS
BY STUART RANKIN

Wellspring Capital Management LLC (Wellspring Associates) is the current owner of the Lionel Trains company. In 2000 and 2001, Wellspring had Lionel make a limited run of cars for its employees and biggest investors. These cars were all given out as gifts and the only way to get them is from the investors that received them. Most investors are hesitant to part with the cars due to their on-going relationship with Wellspring. Limited quantities of Tank Cars were made for the 2000 holiday season and Vat Cars were made for the 2001 holiday season. Each car has its own unique Lionel product number on the box and comes with a Christmas card signed by the associates from Wellspring. This is the start of a new series. Get yours while you can, before everyone else catches on. Since these cars were given to high profile investors, very few have made it into general circulation. Truly a RARE find.
