Lionel Trains Western Pacific Feather Box Car No. 6464-100The Western Pacific No. 6464-100 released in 1954 would be the first car of this series to have the suffix, "100" in this instance, rubber stamped on the sides. Many variations occurred on this car. These are:
spacer
(A) Type I body, SILVER paint with short YELLOW feather. Moderately scarce.
(B) Same as (A) with long 18.7 cm YELLOW feather. Illustrated
(C) Same as (B) with short 18.5 cm YELLOW feather.
(D) Same as (B) with long YELLOW-ORANGE feather.
(E) Type IIA ORANGE body and BLUE feather. Illustrated
(F) Same as (E) with Type I body.
(G) Same as (E) with DARKER ORANGE body and BLUE feather, larger and thicker "WESTERN PACIFIC" and smaller "BUILT BY LIONEL" which is similar to No. 6464-250 issued in 1966.

These variations give you some idea of what generally happened during the production of almost every one of these cars. We are not going to list variations like this for the other cars, and we urge those that are interested to seek other sources of information.
