ACCESSORIES
49 WORDS

  1. Probably the most popular accessory is the Lionel prewar No. (FORTY-FIVE) (GATEMAN) and all of the versions in all the eras of production that have followed.
  2. Long before a (BONANZA) aircraft rode on a No. 6500 flatcar and the No. 197 (RADAR) rotated on mountaintops, the skies above Lionel City had the remote control No. 50 (PYLON) and No. 49 (AIRPORT) to entertain kids interested in aviation.
  3. The No. 3462 (MILK) car and 3462P (PLATFORM) are among the most popular and easiest to find of Lionel’s car based accessories.
  4. At the opposite end would be the cardboard No. 910 Navy (SUBMARINE) (BASE) which augments the Nos. 3330, 3820, 3830 and 6830 flatcars.
  5. The Nos. 440 (POSITION) light (SIGNAL) (BRIDGE), 82 (SEMAPHORE) and 46 crossing (GATE) protected prewar trains just as the Nos. 154 Highway Signal or (CROSSBUCK), swinging 140 (WIGWAG), 163 (TARGET) and 148 (DWARF) signals protected postwar mainlines.
  6. American Flyer’s (NEWSSTAND) was made of (WOOD) like most of the Flyertown structures.
  7. Bridges have always been popular accessories, but unlike the No. 214 (GIRDER) type, you need either Lionel No. 110 or 111 (TRESTLE) sets to use the No. 332 (ARCH-UNDER) bridge on a flat surface.
  8. A Lionel No. 97 (COAL) elevator is much easier to find complete than the No. 441 Weighing Station which can often be missing the (SCALE) arm and (WEIGHTS).
  9. The No. 494 Rotary (BEACON) worked better than the No. 394 which relied on (HEAT) from the (LAMP) to get the housing to rotate.
  10. The clicking of the (PUMP) and bubbling of the (OIL) tube on a Lionel No. 455 can be hypnotic.
  11. The Lionel No. 6-2314 is a (SEARCHLIGHT) tower, as is the No. 6-12716.  Both are reminiscent of the (MARX) No. 416A.
  12. From the cast iron 2 7/8 gauge No. 350 to the ubiquitous die-cast postwar No. 260, (BUMPERS) get little of the attention and acclaim given the wood (BARREL), (LOG) and (LUMBER) (LOADERS) made by any manufacturer.
  13. The No. 346 Operating (CULVERT) (UNLOADER) which was sold by (SEARS) in 1965 and 1966 was a manual version of the No. 345
  14. While the No. 352 (ICE) Depot was eventually manufactured after a P.R. campaign by representatives of the N.A.I.I., it’s highly unlikely anyone from the (AEC) lobbied Lionel to make what was finally released in 2000 as the No.463 (6-14065) (REACTOR).
  15. (CATTLE) walk into pens and vans are loaded (PIGGYBACK) style at the No. 460, while the No. 464 (SAWMILL) churns out lumber and the No. 125 (WHISTLE) Shack signals the passage of another revenue run on the Lionel Lines.

Trains, trains, wonderful trains.  The more you get, the more you toot!  Big Smile
