The Lionel D.L. & W. Work Caboose No. 6119-100 was available from 1957 until 1966 and again in the last year of the Post War Period: 1969. Listed in the Lionel Service Manual under the number 6119-110, it had an unpainted GRAY tool bin and a RED cab with a short stack that were mounted on a BLACK stamped sheet metal frame. Early issues had bar-end trucks with a magnetic tabbed coupler that changed to AAR trucks with a disc coupler in later issues. There are seven variations:

Variation A: Sheet metal frame is painted BLACK with bar-end trucks.
Variation B: Sheet metal frame is painted BLACK with AAR trucks.
Variation C: Sheet metal frame is chemically blackened with WHITE serif "LIONEL" lettering.
Variation D: Cab is painted RED with AAR trucks. Most of this variation have one solid and one operating disc coupler. (1964)
Variation E: Sheet metal frame is chemically blackened with no lettering and AAR trucks, plate labeled "BUILT BY / LIONEL" and has a painted RED cab. (1966)
Variation F: large logo, plate labeled "BUILT BY / LIONEL" and a chemically blackened sheet metal frame with no lettering and AAR trucks. (Late 1966)
Variation G: Has a PALE RED cab with WHITE heat-stamped Santa Fe logo, chemically blackened sheet metal frame with no lettering and AAR trucks and a blank builders plate. The cab is identical to the No. 6130. Lionel was desperate to use up a variety of odd component parts to make this caboose part of the sets that were issued in 1969.
