History
The 6816 Allis Chalmers tractor dozer flatcar is based upon a typical freight car
seen on the rails in the United States throughout the 1950's. As America began to
expand from local cities into a suburban America environment, construction
companies used the railroads to transport their heavy equipment from the cities to
the suburbs.
In their continued effort to remain current with the times, Lionel introduced several flatcars in 1959 and 1960 with construction-themed loads. They include:
The 6816 tractor dozer load is extremely fragile and truely rare to find unbroken and in complete condition. Like most postwar flatcar loads, the flatcar is easy to locate, however the value with this freight car is with the tractor dozer.
Features
Standard features of this car include: unpainted red flatcar with white lettering,
a brakewheel stand with metal brakewheel, corner footsteps, AAR trucks with
operating couplers and a tractor dozer. There are a few unpainted black flatcars
stamped 6816 -- these are scarce.
The tractor dozer scraper is molded in dark orange and has a rubber tread on each side -- exactly like its prototype. The tractor dozer is generally broken in one or several areas. Items commonly broken or repaired include:
