This is the Brown version with Eastern Division, it is the hardest 2457 to locate. Very seldom seen and very scarce car. It is a 1945 caboose that was factory made and assembled out of prewar bodies not used due to the lettering being off center. In 1945, Lionel was very anxious to get out a set and pressed into use some of these caboose bodies that were on hand. It has the classic and desirable whirly wheels, black fiber board flying shoe couplers, small pickup roller. The 2457 is a nice caboose with extra detail. Standard features include painted brown body with white lettering, staple-end trucks with either a single or dual operating coil couplers, interior lighting, metal end railings, ladder and brake wheel at each end plus a battery box, plastic air pump and corner steps. The actual number on the side of the caboose is '477618', while Lionel's catalogue number '2457' number is rubber-stamped on the bottom frame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-6: Very Good based on visual appearance.
