Jersey Central O Gauge Lionel Corporation Tinplate No. 2817 O Gauge Illuminated Caboose w/Die-Cast Post War Trucks

Along with its top-of-the-line standard gauge freight cars, Lionel upgraded its high-end O gauge freight line in 1926: "In designing this marvelous new series of Lionel 'O' Gauge Freight Cars, our aim has been to express the individuality of every type of commercial freight car used on all railroads. Many new features never before carried out to such perfection are apparent in these cars." Catalog numbers, initially in the 800 series when the cars were equipped with latch couplers, were changed to 2800 series when new automatic box couplers were added in 1938.

Each of these limited-run cars come equipped with standard die-cast metal trucks with operating die-cast metal O Gauge knuckle couplers. They'll mate up perfectly with your modern era O Gauge rolling stock and are a perfect choice for those looking for a whimiscal mixture of rolling stock amongst their O Gauge trains.
