ACCESSORIES 2
39 WORDS

  1. In 1949 American Flyer developed the No. 758A (SAM-THE-SEMAPHORE-MAN).  The equally cool No. 23780 (GABE-THE-LAMPLIGHTER) arrived in Flyerville in 1958.
  2. Henry (FERRI) received patents for three accessories Lionel released in 1940. The Nos. 164 (LOG) Loader, 165 Triple Action (MAGNETIC) (CRANE) and 313 (BASCULE) Bridge.
  3. The largest accessory made by any manufacturer in the early 1930’s was the (LIONEL) No. 444.  Maybe not so big by itself, but if you combined (SEVEN) No. 444 segments, a No. 200 (TURNTABLE) and some No. 444-18 (CLIPS), you could model a full circle (ROUNDHOUSE).  Which was a truly massive accomplishment!
  4. To load (GRAVEL), Lionel manufactured the No. 6-2175 (SANDYANDY) in 1979.  It became an (ORE) loader as the No. 6-12712 later in it’s catalog run.
  5. Another addition to the Lionel line in 1979 was the No. 6-2317 Remote Control (DRAW) (BRIDGE).  Not quite a 313 but still neat.
  6. What became the American Flyer No. 779 (OIL-DRUM) Loader was rejected by Lionel, who developed their own Operating (FORKLIFT) Platform in 1957 as the No. 264.
  7. The No. 350 Engine (TRANSFER) Table was cataloged from 1957 to 1960 and included a (FOUR) button remote (CONTROL).
  8. The 1928 version of the No. 128 Station and (TERRACE) included the No. 124 Lionel (CITY) model atop the No. 129, which was 3 inches longer than the No 300 (HELLGATE) bridge.
  9. Lionel’s No. 6-12726 (GRAIN) (ELEVATOR) came in kit form, as did the No. 6-12711 (WATER) (TOWER) as shown in the 1988 catalog.
  10. A publicity photo for the No. 175 Rocket (LAUNCHER) shows the No. 175-50 (ROCKETS) replaced with casings from real (BULLETS).
  11. The No. 397 Diesel (COAL) (LOADER) was great for making a mess.  But to really annoy your parents you needed the No. 465 with it’s (MICROPHONE).  That accessory evolved into the No. 419 (HELIPORT) in 1962.
  12. You would throw a (KNIFE) (SWITCH) to control trains when using a Lionel No. 439 (PANEL) Board.
