Lionel Trains Oil Derrick No. 455 B Variation

Lionel Trains Oil Derrick No. 455The Oil Derrick No. 455 was another accessory that used a thermal switch. This time it moved the pump arm up and down, and a light concealed in the base caused the tube to bubble from its heat to simulate oil. Produced from 1950 until 1954, it has an ORANGE generator unit and came with four aluminum oil barrels that were placed in a rack.
