LIONEL 6468 NEW HAVEN DOUBLE DOOR AUTOMOBILE BOX CAR

 

This car was available for sale from 1956 to 1958. It was included in the 2263W New Haven EP-5 set from 1956, the 1579S O27 2037 steam set from 1957, and the 2507W New Haven F3 set from 1958. The body was modified from a 6464 body, but the doors are unique to the 6468 line (there was also a Baltimore and Ohio version). While this was technically called an automobile car, none ever came with it. The body is unpainted plastic and the lettering is heat-stamped. Stamped metal frame and brake wheel. This car came with diecast bar- end trucks and operating couplers on both ends. A few variations exist, all concerning the NH logo. Some cars had a white N and black H, while others were the opposite. Most cars had the N missing part of the serif on the right side. The rarer version has a full N. Cars normally had a black N and white H to the left of the door on one side of the car, and the same color lettering (black N and white H) on the right side of the door on the other side of the car.
