One of the postwar diecast cars has a vibrating turning searchlight. All the others turn by hand,

Welcome aboard!

I have a #3620 myself and it's a fun car to run!

By the way, Lionel also has made a long line of Gulf oil and chemical cars over the years!  Big Smile

Lionel Floodlight/Spotlight Car with Rotating Light Fixture
Posted by Gulf Oil on Saturday, February 29, 2020 6:31 PM

Am operating a layout on O-gauge tubular track, with O-31 curved-track pieces. Am looking for a Lionel car with a rotating floodlight/spotlight that will be able to navigate this layout.

Does such a car exist? If so, can someone provide the Lionel item number?

Thank you.
