Remember, this LIMITED EDITION piece was only produced in a QUANTITY OF only 500 PIECES!

Here’s a little history behind this unique COLLECTOR’S ITEM:

Lionel LLC, created, designed and donated these handsome model RR boxcars to the B & O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, as a generous gift in support of the “Roundhouse Restoration Fund.”  You see, one half of the lower roof of the Museum’s National Historic Landmark Roundhouse collapsed, (see picture below), after a record snowfall on President’s Day, February 17, 2003.  A portion of the proceeds of the original sale of these items went directly to support the restoration and rebuilding of the heavily damaged B & O Railroad Museum and its world-class collections, which caused its nearly two year closure.  The Museum reopened on Saturday, November 13, 2004, to the marvel of train enthusiasts everywhere!

ABOUT THE LIONEL BOXCAR:

Þ   This is a copy of the M-55c Boxcar painted in authentic B & O Railroad Sentinel Service livery with a dark blue roof.

Þ   The Boxcar has a stamped metal frame supported by all metal wheels and is equipped with an operating door, knuckle couplers, and die-cast spring-loaded trucks.

Þ   The car is numbered 021703 to commemorate the date on which the roof collapsed into the Railroad Museum Roundhouse, February 17, 2003.

Þ   The Boxcar comes with a numbered, signed certificate of authenticity and a beautifully haunting aerial photograph of the Museum Roundhouse the day after the roof collapse.

Þ   The Boxcar also comes with a letter from the Executive Director of the Museum detailing the facts stated above.  The letter is made out to me, the owner of White Mountain Trading Company.

Þ   The Boxcar is packaged as from the manufacturer and is in MINT CONDITION, NEVER USED OR RUN ON TRACK!

Þ   The item will be delivered to the winning bidder carefully packed and inclusive of COA, letter and photo.
