Up for sale is a gorgeous and fully functional 3454 Operating Merchandise box car that includes a poor original box, original insert, six reproduction red packing crates and an original speckled # 160 dump bin.
This operating freight car is the earlier 1946 variation with the hidden roof hinge pin on the side. The box car has recently been cleaned, serviced, tested and it operates perfectly. The exterior silver is vibrant with minimal signs of handling plus the side lettering and graphics are crisp and complete. Additionally, the door guides, frame and trucks are extremely clean with no signs of rust nor oxidation.
Finally, the original box, insert and dump bin are also included. The dump bin is the harder to find variation with red speckles throughout the bakelite plus it is complete and not chipped, cracked nor damaged. The Art Deco box is the correct version without the "Toy Logo" on the exterior but is in poor condition as both end flaps are missing. Lastly, the original insert is included and complete with all tabs attached at both ends.
