The Wheel Car No. 6262 came with six sets of wheels and was available in 1956 and 1957. Although the car can handle eight sets of wheels, this car is pictured in the catalogs and described as only having six wheel sets. Most collectors have added two additional sets. These cars came with either bar-end trucks that have tabbed couplers or AAR trucks equipped with disc couplers. The latter versions with AAR trucks are collectable, but no premium is offered because it is unclear how many of these AAR trucks were installed later by Lionel service stations. |
