Lionel pw-6401
GREY UNNUMBERED/UNLETTERED FLATCAR
Simple flat car. AAR trucks and one operating and one fixed coupler. No load. Built 1965. In the mid-1960s, Lionel USED THE 1877 flatcar tooling to produced a gray car with no markings, no truss rods, and AAR-type trucks-one with operating coupler, the other without. Onto this car was placed automobiles of various colors, for which we do not know if there were different item numbersIn addition, either a moss-green tank, or moss-green jeep and cannon were used, (see PW- 6401-TANK) all made by Payton plastics. However the items sold by Payton were olive drab, rather than the moss-green bought by Lionel. This car became very rareThis flatcar was sold with several different loads (Cable Reels, boat with blue hull, automobiles, and van. The flat with tank is so unusual that it has notbeen pictured in a reference book. But this is the Train-Station, and we have it in our reference files!!!! |
