Up
for sale is a Used Lionel 1004 Babe Ruth, Orange Box Car,
O Gauge. (No Box). This car is in
good to excellent condition with operating Lionel knuckle couplers. The X1004
is historic in that it introduced the short, non-operating box car to the
Lionel family. Originally, it was only included as an inexpensive box car for
the Scout sets which were introduced in 1948. By the mid-1950's this short box
car was included in many of Lionel's 027 starter sets. Finally, the 1960's saw
this short box car as a regular freight car component of practically every set
produced by Lionel. The X1004 ran for five years, 1948 - 1952. During that time
it was always produced with Scout-style couplers. Due to the incompatibility of
the scout coupler with the remainder of the Lionel couplers, it is fairly
common to find a X1004 with the scout couplers replaced with a standard Lionel
knuckle couplers. Standard features of the X1004 were spare. It included:
unpainted orange body with black or blue lettering, non-opening doors on each
side and scout-style couplers. It also included the Pennsylvania railroad logo
on the left side of the car.
