This little red caboose during the pre-world war ii years, is a neat example on what basic life was like way before the debut of the internet, rock n roll music, on the go fast food, social media, & other things. It was also from an era before Lionel upgraded all of their locomotives & rolling stock with smoke for steam engines, & automatic but realistic knuckle couplers. This is due to a fact that a metal latch coupler is on the caboose. Now here’s something very uncommon but also very rare indeed: on one side the Lionel lines logo & number are facing the correct way, but the other side does have the Lionel lines logo right but the number however, is upside down on my copy for some reason which makes this model a 100% factory error. This is one of the few remaining copies in existence to have that mistake on the model. Although this never came with its own box, it’ll still be a nice add-on to your layout and/or collection about what the world was like a century ago more or less. This item is in the category “Toys & Hobbies\Model Railroads & Trains\Railroads & Trains\Freight Cars”. The seller is “steamboy4395″ and is located in this country: US.
