Does anyone know of any literature or books on the original 6464 boxcars for research purposes?

Thanks Buzz

the TM and Greenberg books should have plenty of info.

Thanks Steamer.

I understand the price guides and postwar guides, I was wondering if there was a book dedicated just to the 6464's with all their variations

Buzz,

The only thing I can think of would be one of the newer Greenberg books. Have you thought about the TCA"Q" Archives?

Thanks pappy.

I recently (2-3 weeks ago) sent you an email about the decal supplier you recommend. I have not heard from you on email

One other source with specific variations, can be found in Doyle's book, "The Standard Catalog of Lionel Trains 1942-1969". A lot of the listings of some rarer versions of a specific number, will list the number of rivets in a column as an example. One specific variation of the 6464-150 Missouri Pacific has the "logo" in the column on the left of door, in the closest column. The normal issued 6464-150 has the "logo" two columns from the door. You will pay a premium for the logo in first column from door, which is Rare!!

Another source to check is Tandem Associates website who also list variations, of all the series.
