From 1996!! Does not get too much earlier than this.
You are looking at one of the very earliest MTH passenger sets. This is the 1/48 O scale Heavyweight 70' passenger car set. This New York Central passenger set was in the 1996 Fall/Winter Premier catalog. This was one of the first passenger sets MTH issued.
Fun fact: MTH continued the tradition of calling Heavyweights "Madisons" based on Lionel's 1940s Heavyweight model, one of which was named "Madison". It stuck to the whole style!
Wouldn't these look perfect behind your NYC steam engine?
