A Train of Brand new Hot Metal cars leaving Valley Pipe and Forge for various Steel mills.
In reality they are Lionel cars converted to 2-Rail and will be used on Hot Metal runs between the Basic Oxygen Furnace at Republic Steel and Valley Pipe and Forge. They are all different because I try to buy them at the cheapest price resulting in all kinds of colours and mills. I don't get a choice when your chasing price! They will be eventually heavily weathered.
Wonderful cars Lionel at it's best. Roo.
