AF3020, This is a test. (I don't know the answer.) When did auto carriers make it into the Lionel / Marx line? Thanks. Alfred

Nice car, Keith. Now you’ll need a few more to make a string of them. Good point Joe. Just found another one NIB, want at least one more.

Since we've drifted off pure car carriers, here's my combo military and Indiana Jones tribute, on an empty Marx flat car:  |

Perhaps further afield, a Lionel 6802 kitted out as a tribute to John Wyer:  This car subsequently reverted to its original form carrying two Lionel bridge girders, then went to a postwar collector. |

atsda, if we are talking about the two level auto carriers with 4 cars then my Greenberg references say they were both introduced the same year - 1955. The earlier versions of the Lionel auto carrier had cars with more detail. The auto-loader itself was a reasonable representation of the real car.  The later versions had very stripped down autos - collectors usually refer to these cars as "cheapies"  |
