Product Overview
Condition: NOS Original Box: 8 Year: Early 1949
Now available for sale is a New Old Stock # 3461 Log Dump operating car from early 1949!
Up for sale is a new, unused, all-original operating Log Dump car. The exterior color is vibrant, the side lettering is crisp and complete and the logs are original postwar Lionel logs. The wheel are unrun and the base and trucks are super clean.
This log dump car appears to be an early 1949 production freight car as it has staple-end trucks, instructions dated February 1949, a 1948 inspection tag plus a Three Cities box -- which was only available in the early part of 1949. The box is solid, has all internal and external flaps but there is tape on several interior flaps and two small puncture holes on the side -- as seen in the photo above.
If you're looking for an interesting Lionel item with an unusual background -- this could be the perfect addition to your collection.
