The Lionel Single Dome Tank CarsThe Metal Sunoco Single Dome No. 6555 is a premium car that was available in 1949 and 1950. It consisted of a die-cast frame without steps, sheet-metal tank, and the lettering is by decals, on the left "SUNOCO" diamond, and on the right side "S.U.N.X. 6555." Cars whose decals have not discolored with age are highly valued today. This car came with a brake stand, ladders, and placards that are usually located on the ends. Equipped with staple-end trucks that usually have magnetic couplers.

There are three variations:
