American Flyer 6-48640 Burlington Northern Cylindrical Hopper Car w/High Rail Wheels
Lionel introduced a totally new cylindrical hopper car in 2013 for its line of American Flyer S gauge trains. They were done in a host of Union Pacific “Heritage” and Norfolk Southern “Legacy” railroad names. These cars were aimed at the S scalers with trucks having rotating bearing caps and scale wheel flanges. Suffice it to say that the cars were not very well received by the scale operators and the high rail/tinplate operators couldn’t use them because of the scale wheel flanges. So what do you do with them? Convert them to high rail and that is what we did.
Our inventory of cylindrical hopper cars now has the high rail trucks (American Flyer 6-49081 or 49081).
Offered is the Lionel American Flyer 6-48640 Burlington Northern cylindrical hopper car with high rail wheel flanges. It is in C-9 (Mint) condition. It is fully compatible with the standard American Flyer track from the AC Gilbert era, Gargraves S gauge track, or K-Line S gauge track. It is also compatible with all modern high rail track from American Models, MTH (formerly S Helper Service), and the new Lionel American Flyer “Fast Track.” It will not run on any layout having scale track.
If you have any questions regarding any specifics, please do ask. It is the eBay way.
