Production: 1957 - 1960History
The 6801 Boat Car is an attractive and popular freight car. It was produced for four years in the late 1950, and although there are two variations to the flatcar, the original boat actually has three variations.
Features
The 6801 flatcar was produced during the period when Lionel converted most of its rolling stock from bar-end trucks to AAR trucks. As is common with the transition items, this car can be located with both the bar-end and AAR trucks.
Standard features of this car vary with the year of production. The following list identifies the features unique to each year:
1957 - Molded red flatcar with white lettering, the number '6801' is always to the right of the word Lionel, gray boat cradle, bar-end trucks with two operating couplers plus a brakestand and brakewheel.
1958 - 1960 - Molded red flatcar with white lettering, the number '6801' is always to the left of the word Lionel, gray boat cradle, AAR trucks with two operating couplers plus a brakestand and brakewheel.
Additionally, Lionel had a unique stock number for each color boat. Those stock numbers are:
6801: Brown boat
6801-50: Yellow boat
6801-75: Blue boat

Please Read: Pre-Owned Item Notice
This item is pre-owned. We make every effort to describe each used item accurately and completely, but we may occasionally miss something. Please review the photos and description carefully before purchasing.
The item pictured is the item you will receive. Our photos show the exact item for sale, not a representative example. Any manufacturer stock image is included for reference only.
Many of our used items come to us from collections. Occasionally an item may have been stored in the wrong box (for example, an RPO car in a combine car's box), or small detail parts and accessories may be missing that we did not know were originally included.
Manufacturer information may not reflect the actual product. The manufacturer details below are taken from the manufacturer's published information, which is not always accurate. For example, some passenger cars were advertised - and even boxed - as including passenger figures but shipped without them, and the manufacturer's website was never corrected. Paint schemes and liveries may also differ from the manufacturer's website and stock photos. Where the photos and the manufacturer information disagree, the photos show what you will receive.
