Could you please tell us more about the car-who sells it-the Lionel number-etc. thanks--turtle7
This was offered direct from TCA. I ordered it in April 2019. The number on the box is 1901460.

I somehow missed that or just didn't examine the graphics close enough when it was announced.
Sharp car! (and a touch different than most Christmas offerings)
If it was order only, I'm sorry I missed it.
If they have any for sale at the Museum during York week, I'll probably try to pick one up.

I like that it is an actual PRR car. One could image it was a special Christmas paint job. My favorite part is the hat on the logo.
A good looking car. I like that there is no year mentioned so it is relevant every Christmas.

Thanks to all you responders. I am a old ( Charles Weber) 6464 nut-and what interests me is that Lionel/TCA put on this car the number 6464-200-I presume to match the PW Penn 6464-200-even though it is not a true 6464 car without metal door guides top and bottom. I agree that it is a really neat car.
If you look at the third photo there is a tiny area on the bottom left with the number 01460 and "TCA Member Exclusive". This lines up with the number on the box 1901460. The 19 referring to 2019.
It has the usual built date on the right: BUILT 2019 BY LIONEL.
These are both relatively subtle and do not tie down the car to Christmas 2019.
Very nice car for Christmas and not typical

Hi Dave,
If you go to the museum on Wed before York, ask for Amy. She'll be at the table where you sign in for the day. Ask her, you might be happy that you do.

Lovely Lionel car, made in the USA and it sounds like it was shipped from my favorite train spot in the whole country. Strasburg!! 
Very nice.
