History
The 6427 caboose was Lionel's second N5C caboose and became a standard offering
in the Lionel family for the second half of the 1950s. It is primarily found in the
Lionel Lines roadname -- however, two other versions exist: the Pennsylvania
and Virginian.
Both the Pennsylvania and Virginian are among the rarest Lionel cabooses produced in the postwar era. The Pennsylvania (Lionel's catalogue # 6427-500) was included in the infamous Girls set of 1957 and 1958. The Virginian (Lionel's catalogue # 6427-60) was a one-year only item from 1958. Both were produced in small quantities and are extremely difficult to find.
Features
The 6427 caboose is an accurate representation of Pennsylvania's class N5C caboose
with excellent detail. Standard features of the Lionel Lines version include: painted
Tuscan bodies with white lettering, illumination, bar-end trucks with a single
operating coupler, metal brakewheels, plastic end railing detail and roof
ladders. The actual number on the sides of the caboose is '64273.'
The Pennsylvania version differs from the above explanation in that it is painted sky-blue with the number '576427' on the side. The Virginian is painted dark blue with yellow lettering and numbered '6427.'
