Thanks for the reply. I guess these are keepers! What a surprise to find them in a Flyer boxcar. Have these ever been documented anywhere? I couldn’t find mention in Greenbergs or T&M. I could display them in a 2452 as I only collect coil coupler era Lionel. I’m going to show them to some long time Lionel collectors that I know too.
