LIONEL TRAINS SAVINGS BANK BOX CAR No. 6050
The Lionel Savings Bank Box Car No. 6050 has a coin slot in the top that allowed it to be used as a bank. Available only in 1961, this car has a Type I body with GREEN and RED heat-stamped lettering and early AAR trucks with disc couplers. There are two variations that have to do with the size of the lettering "BLT BY LIONEL" that was imprinted on the sides. The B Variation has smaller lettering.
