LIONEL X3464 NYC OPERATING BOXCAR
| Like the X3464 A.T.S.F., this heavy duty high quality car was included in sets, as well as being offered for seperate sale from 1949 until 1952Using the same tooling as the 2454 series nine and a quarter inch box cars with only slight modifications to the frame, Lionel created this operating box carThe body, usually molded of clear plastic, was painted tan and the New York Central markings were heat-stamped in white. Although X3464 did appear on the car, the most prominent number displayed was "159000"Attached to the operating mechanism was a blue rubber man with arms spread. When energized by the electromagnet of an uncoupling track, a spring-loaded plunger released a spring- loaded mechanism, pushing the door open and advancing the man to the doorway. |
