LIONEL X3464 NYC OPERATING BOX CAR

 

Like the X3464 A.T.& S.F. - this car was included in many sets as well as being offered for seperate sale from 1949 until 1952 - making it common today. It used the same tooling as the 2454 series, nine and a quarter inch box cars - with only slight modifications to the frame. The 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 which pushed the door open and advanced the man to the doorway.
