Lionel 2442 Vintage O Lionel lines Illuminated Brown Tinplate Pullman Car EX/Box

Here is a Lionel 2442 Vintage O Lionel lines Illuminated Brown Tinplate Pullman Car. The 2442 Brown Pullman Passenger car is a continuation of the prewar passenger cars manufactured between 1938 and 1942. These early postwar passenger cars are known as sheet metal or tinplate passenger cars. Lionel sold the 2442 in a three-car passenger car set consisting of a single 2443 observation car and two 2442 pullman cars. All 1946 sets were pulled by a middle-of-the-line 224 Lionel steam locomotive while the 1947 and 1948 sets were pulled by the classic -- and more desirable -- 675 K-4 steamer. These early postwar all-metal style passenger cars carried over much of the charm and toy-like characteristics of their prewar cousins. Although they were soon replaced in the postwar ear with more realistic and detailed looking plastic passenger cars, there is still a large audience preferring these classic, all-metal Lionel passenger cars. Standard features on the 2442 Pullman include: Tuscan painted bodies with matching painted roofs, light-gray painted doors and windows, non-silhouetted plastic window inserts, interior illuminated plus staple-end trucks with magnetic couplers.
