6482 Refrigerator Car

Production:  1957

History
The 6482 Refrigerator car was a one-year only item from 1957. It was included it only a single set in that year, an 027 gauge Prairie steam freight set. The 6482 is a somewhat hard-to-find freight car and is essentially a non-operating version of the 3482 operating milk car. Additionally, the original box for a 6482 is significantly more difficult to locate than the actual refrigerator car!

Features
Standard features of the 6482 Refrigerator Car include: unpainted white body with black lettering, AAR trucks with operating couplers, metal corner steps plus functional doors.

The 6482 is an anomaly in that Lionel actually added detail to the car rather than remove detail. All 6482 cars include metal corner steps. This is somewhat counter to the direction taken by Lionel since the last appearance of metal corner steps was in the 1950 product line -- seven years prior to the production of this car!
