Lionel 2458 PRR Box Car
Posted by LS1Heli on Monday, February 12, 2007 4:46 PM

Does anyone here know if the postwar Lionel 2458 metal box car came with an insert? Or does the car simply slide into the box.

 I have been told this Lionel car NEVER came with a box insert...but I want to make sure!

If anyone knows please let me know!

Thanks,

John

What style couplers does it have?  Knuckle or box & pin?   Greenberg's price guide lists it as a X2458 from 1946 to 1949.   Have not heard about box inserts being used during those years.
