History
The 6015 Sunoco Tank Car was the first short single-dome tank cars to be
produced with regular Lionel production bar-end trucks -- and not the
inexpensive Scout or Scout-type trucks. It's external graphics
are similar to the 1005 from the late 1940's.
The 6015 was included in several 027 starter sets of the mid-1950's. Although there is minimal collector interest in this tank car, it's somewhat hard to find with complete graphics and lettering. Worn graphics and lettering are the norm for this tanker since frequent handling generally wore off most of this detail.
Features
Standard features of the 6015 were minimal. It included: yellow painted
body with black lettering, single dome tank, blackened-metal frame and
bar-end truck with operating couplers plus a two-color Sunoco herald
oon each side.
Additional Detail, Photos & Box Information
The very earliest production from 1954 used gray shells which were painted yellow. The
gray tanker shells were simply left-over inventory from the 6035 tank car produced
in 1954 and painted yellow for the 6015.
