Manufacturer Information:
Once again, we take a trip to the mysterious and sacred Lionel Archives where products that were developed, planned for and prototyped but never produced reside. What forces were at work so many years ago that prevented them from seeing the light of day? While we are only left to speculate, we can, at last, see these products the way they were intended to be on layouts and in the collections of Lionel enthusiasts around the world.
Shown in Lionels 1962 catalog as part of the Plainsman General set, this red Fort Knox mint car was nonetheless never produced. In its place was a silver version shown later in the catalog as a separate sale item. Perhaps the move was made to utilize available inventory or to reduce the offerings from two to one. Whatever the case, at long last you can own the red version 39 years later.
