Lionel Trains RDC Budd UnitsThe Lionel Baltimore & Ohio Budd Unit No. 2550 was available in 1957 and 1958. This baggage/mail car was part of Set No. 2502W issued in 1958 that included the No. 400 power unit and No. 2559 passenger car. This baggage car is painted SILVER with BLUE heat-stamped lettering and "BUDD RDC-4" adhesives. There is an ornamental horn at each end and the trucks have operating magnetic couplers. It is lighted by three lamps that showed off the silhouetted window strips and both headlights through a lens window piece at each end. This car is the rarest of the Budd units.

All of the Lionel Budd units are designed to work on the tighter radius of O27 Gauge track, but they will run equally well on O Gauge track.
