Vintage (1966) Lionel 6464-250 Western Pacific “Feather” Boxcar w/Type IV Body

Description: This item is previously owned by a collector who meticulously cared for and stored his Lionel collection. It appears to have been run sparingly if at all, and it includes the original box. Please see photos for details. This is a vintage (1966) Lionel 6464-250 Western Pacific “Feather” Boxcar with the Type IV Body and Type IIA roof. Part of the famous 6464 series, the 250 is noteworthy because it was the final 6464 series boxcar of the postwar era -- despite its number being sequentially near the beginning of the series. The 6464-250 is one of the harder 6464-series boxcars to find since it was only produced for a single year (1966). Also, it was never included in a Lionel set. It featured an orange painted shell with blue feather and white lettering, multi-block sliding doors, AAR trucks with operating couplers plus a single brake wheel. The type IV body has three full columns of rivets to the right of the door, and the second and third rivet columns to the left of the door each had three rivets at the top and two at the bottom. The interior of the roof was ribbed. The 6464 freight car series is the most collected item ever made by Lionel. Colorful with numerous road names and great graphics, each box car is essentially a rolling billboard. They include different truck types (bar-end vs. AAR), door types (single vs. multi-block), rivets (varied rows and patterns), and internal mold designs. Production of these box cars allowed Lionel to market a realistic and almost scale-like box car never previously seen in the Lionel family. The 6464-style box cars were an immediate success and remained in the Lionel catalog until the final year of postwar production, 1969. Even today, all 6464-style box cars remain a favorite of collectors and operators. This is a rare find from a collector who meticulously cared for and stored his Lionel collection.
