I received mine a couple of days ago.

 

It is a very nice looking car. I think it has some of the richest multi-layer graphics of any of the LRRC/LCCA or Lionel annual Christmas cars produced. The red and gold colors are a classic Christmas combination.

 

Looking forward to see what the LCCA produces for future Christmas cars.

 

maint - traditional is part of O gauge. O gauge refers to the width between the 2 outer rails. So, both scale cars and the smaller traditional size cars are part of O gauge.

 

Lionel used to refer to scale equipment as standard O scale or standard O and to the smaller equipment as traditional or traditional O gauge. Looking at the latest catalog, Lionel appears to have dropped the standard terminology and now just call it O scale and traditional remains the same.

this is a O gauge car.. Bob

I think the intent of the question is really more along the lines of O-SCALE or traditional, with O-Scale being true 1/4" to the foot dimensions, and "traditional size" being more like Lionel Postwar rolling stock, such as 6464 boxcars.

 

That being the case, I'd say this car is "traditional".
