LCCA CHRISTMAS CAR

Nice looking car, is it o gauge or traditional?

Yes!  Mine came in the mail last Friday!  This is a style departure from the last few years, but it's all good.  I have last year's car plus the 2013 and 2012 LRRC boxcars.

this is a O gauge car.. Bob

I received mine a couple of days ago.

It is a very nice looking car. I think it has some of the richest multi-layer graphics of any of the LRRC/LCCA or Lionel annual Christmas cars produced. The red and gold colors are a classic Christmas combination.

Looking forward to see what the LCCA produces for future Christmas cars.

maint - traditional is part of O gauge. O gauge refers to the width between the 2 outer rails. So, both scale cars and the smaller traditional size cars are part of O gauge.

Lionel used to refer to scale equipment as standard O scale or standard O and to the smaller equipment as traditional or traditional O gauge. Looking at the latest catalog, Lionel appears to have dropped the standard terminology and now just call it O scale and traditional remains the same.

Sorry, I couldn't edit my post as I'm getting an "unknown system error" pop-up when  I click on the edit icon.

To answer your question, it is a traditional size boxcar.

I think the intent of the question is really more along the lines of O-SCALE or traditional, with O-Scale being true 1/4" to the foot dimensions, and "traditional size" being more like Lionel Postwar rolling stock, such as 6464 boxcars.

That being the case, I'd say this car is "traditional".

I stand corrected.. Thank you

Are they shipping these in batches? I ordered mine forever ago, and have yet to receive it.

I am sure this means it will show up on my doorstep tomorrow.
