Lionel Steam Locomotive box
Posted by irontooth on Sunday, December 11, 2016 10:29 AM

Hello everyone, I have a 736 Berkshire Steam Loco and was looking at the box. It is stamped 736 on end flap and on the side panel it is stamped 7-54 (build date?) and below that stamped 736-20. What does the 20 mean? Thanks everyone. Merry Christmas!!!

Not sure but the box is not for your 726. They stopped production of them in 1950 acording to this.

confounded fingers, I meant 736 it is a 736 steamer. It is stamped 736 on side of cab. 

Thanks

-20 is just the part number for the box.
