Lionel briefly experimented with this color combination, and these cars are quite scarce today. Features of the 6456 include...die-cast metal trucks, two operating knuckle couplers and a single brake wheel. Until 1954, the 6456 was either a black or maroon hopper with white lettering. Beginning in 1954, the 6456 experienced several color changes. One of these variations is the Glossy Red Hopper with White Lettering was the rarest. It is by far, the most sought after of the 6456‘s. What makes it rare is that it only had one run in 1954, and it features WHITE Lettering not the usual yellow lettering we see in the other Lehigh‘s. This car has the yellow lettering on the red body which is still quite a scare car to find.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-7: Excellent based on visual appearance.
