The Minneapolis & St. Louis No. 56 SwitcherThe No. 56 Minneapolis & St. Louis Switcher was available only one year in 1958 and is scarce. It was painted RED and WHITE on a red body mold with RED "MINE TRANSPORT" lettering. The unit came with a 3-position E-unit but had no interior light.

The same problem with the window struts exists on this engine as on the No. 51 Navy Yard switcher. This engine was available for separate sale only and was never included as part of any set that Lionel produced.
