2855 SUNOCO TANK CAR - EITHER GREY (RARE) OR BLACK (RARER!)

 

Built from 1946 until 1947. Deluxe single dome tank car, sheet metal body, "Sunoco" decal on left, "S.U.N.X. 2855" or generic decal on right, hand rails, diecast frame, air brake, ladders, brakestand, steps at all four corners, typically with placard holders on all four sides, and staple-end trucks with coil couplers. Silver versions of this car were also produced but with different numbers - the silver 2755 was produced in 1945, and the silver 2555 produced from 1946 until 1948. Black painted and grey painted versions of this car were BOTH numbered 2855 and produced from 1946 until 1948, both are quite rare compared to the earlier 2755 and 2555 silver versions, with the 2855 grey version having a book value of three times the silver version, and the black version about six times the book version!
