    This is as complete a listing as I have been able to compile. Certainly, there may be more I’ve missed. Please update this list if you find any others that are not included. Thanks.

There is a fairly elusive Lionel NY Central Pacemaker freight set, with 3 Std. O Boxcars, with diecast frames, and a caboose. I don’t have the MPN for this set. Otherwise, this list is as complete as I have been able to find, as there is no readily available resource. If anyone knows of any other boxcars or reefers with a diecast frame, please add them here.




The above set is Lionel 6-17246. It is listed in the 1998 Lionel "Classic Trains" Volume II catalog.

In the same catalog are (2) more sets, the Union Pacific (6-21757) and Northern Pacific (6-11977). Both of these sets offered (2) boxcars with diecast frames. A boxcar and a reefer.  I have the NP set, the Lionel #'s are 6-17243 and 6-17316. As you noted, the 17243 is on your list. The 17316 is a 40' reefer boxcar with a diecast frame.

Just trying to help out.

I just received #7 on the list (17220 PRR) and it does not have a die cast frame.

Also, #2 (17234) arrived with a die cast frame, but it was a variant for the LCCA 30th anniversary with prominent extra markings.

I believe the numbering system, 6-172XX, is indicative of a die cast frame, but like all things in the toy train world, this is not consistent. My PRR car is not readily accessible to look at the features listed on the end flap of the box. Please post a picture of end flap. Also, I was unaware of the LCCA PH&D variant. Please post a picture.

Ron S - I believe my original post contained a transcription error for the MPN for the B&M car. You have posted the correct MPN. Thank you both for your replies.

I have unintentionally posted some incorrect car numbers in the above list. I had previously purchased half a dozen diecast 9464 box car frames, and I swapped them out on the Milwaukee Road and the Pennsylvania RR cars. I also swapped out the Penn Central but I did not list it. I don’t think there are any more listed erroneously. I didn’t remember it at the time. They have been removed.
