This car arrived today. It's a "Don't Stand Me Still" car, with data number "X290".
It is very nice indeed, but I do have a question: it also has markings "Rebuilt 1-99". It seems to me that this type of car is too new to have been rebuilt in 1899, but too old to have been rebuilt in 2009.
So what's up with that?

Could have been rebuilt in January, 1999. John
Mark, The "rebuilt 1-99" refers to a K-line marking in that the car was made in 1999 The one would indicate first edition.
Good source for K-line is:

I guess for many years my loyalty to the big L made me avoid K-line products. I do still have my first Lionel set the 1656 Switcher with the ringing bell tender! Over the years it did have a marker light amputated and groves are worn in the drive wheels from use! I haven't quit figured out on how to take it with me, but I'll work on that!!
