15. Shown on page 35 of the consumer catalog were two new accessories.  First, the No. 455 Operating Oil (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) and Pump used a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) strip to move the pump jack,  Sought-after versions came with a (_ _ _) top platform.
16. The other notable newcomer-to-be was to replace the prewar No. 313 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) bridge.  However, the No. 213 “Real Railroad (_ _ _ _) Bridge” wasn’t made until 2002, 52 years late.
17. Originally produced with braided steel wire handrails, the No 456 Coal (_ _ _ _) later used fishing line (probably made by Lionel’s (_ _ _ _ _) division) in place of the wire.  Included was the No. 3456 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) & Western operating (_ _ _ _ _ _) car, which was also offered for separate sale.
