Well good morning BxCrSun fans, great pictures all. Dave and GGIGUYY great liveries, 3 color box cars and a candy car livery that's really impressive. Kreiglock - Tom super work for sure. Like Vern I like the SP&S car - did you know LIonel produced an SP&S car that I posted on this thread back in April. However the Lackawana "Pheobe Snow" is from my original home area in N.J. Sitka and Patrick - great train shots, looking good! Donnie - thanks for bringing Mr. Marx into the picture. Great boxcars...did you know that the yellow SF cattle car also came with scale trucks and couplers? One of the few members of the plastic freight line to transition over to the 3/16 scale line.
Well today, I have one of the true "collector's jewels" found yesterday at a train show in Austin. Not all that visually impressive but its truly scarce. The "Chun King" 6014 0-27 boxcar (sometimes called a "plug door car"). This guy was uncatalogued and was thought to come in an uncataloged set of unknown number with the 246 locomotive and more importantly came in a 1956 uncataloged set, # X-150, featuring a 520 electric box cab that was reported as a prize in a raffle promoting bread in a Rochester, New York grocery store chain. Interesting and indicative of the Lionel strategy at the time, this set was identical to the catalogued set 1542/750 EXCEPT for the substitution of the Chun King boxcar for the Baby Ruth. I collect the 6014' type box cars and this little gal is scarce as the proverbial "hens teeth".
Here is the full side view.
The most important "Chun King" product livery. Look at the logo..."Oriental American Foods". Some of you may be old enough to remember the (annoying) Chun King marketing song..."You got the vegetables on the bottom, the chow mien sauce on the top". In the days before digital / cable TV you got to hear that song several times a day 
.
The railroad end of the livery, PRR of course .
Well, I admit I am really pleased with this find yesterday. Now...where is that "WIX" boxcar?
Best wishes
Don
