This is the hardest to find of all the 6436 hopper cars. The 6436 Lehigh Valley hopper has the longest production period of any postwar Lionel quad hopper. It was introduced in 1955, only a year after the initial introduction of the quad hopper. Although it was unavailable between 1958 and 1962, it was re-introduced in 1963 and ran through the end of postwar production in 1969. The 6436 hopper has three distinct production runs. Each production run created a slightly different variation. To help identify each, Lionel assigned a different suffix to the of the variations. Collector interest in any of the common 6436 hoppers is minimal. However, there are some unusual and hard to find variations which collectors continue to pursue. Features include plastic trucks, operating knuckle couplers, metal wheels and axles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-6: Very Good based on visual appearance.
