Reminiscent of actual early cars intended for use in railroad maintenance, Lionel’s scale inspection vehicles add an additional touch of prototypical realism to your railroad operations. These handsome and accurately detailed cars are made of die-cast metal, come equipped with working headlights and front cowcatcher, and can operate on layout curves as tight as 0-27. Realistic and fun too, Lionel now offers inspection vehicles in four additional paint schemes including a colorful Christmas rendition.
