The Lionel No. 60 TrolleyThe No. 60 Lionelville Trolley, like the Gang Car, would reverse direction when it hit a bumper as would its pole. First introduced in 1955, it was available for four years, but production probably ended at the Lionel factory sometime in late 1956.

Lionel had problems with overheating caused by the motor and the lamp in this unit. Later editions would have a reflective aluminum coating on the roof underside and four vents would be in the roof on each side of the clerestory to aid in circulation.

There are other variations concerning the type of bumper, and the addition of a motorman silhouette, but the major one that is rarer has to do with the color of the lettering on the side that is BLACK instead of BLUE.
