While reseaching Lionel pickle cars, since I had seen that Lionel made three-rail vat cars, I discovered there were at least TWO Lionel cars, #6475, and #9128, (any other Lionel cars, and K-Line or other three rail VAT cars?). I found a reasonable one in a local show, but on the net I have seen some wild and hilarious pricing, which led to the above questions, and a curiosity as to whether anything physical was different about the two (or more??) Lionel cars, other than number stamped thereon? (were all from same mold?)
(there are a number of Heinz and Vlasic reefers, etc, that are not VAT cars)
