Dear Lionel authorities.
Has Lionel made any die-cast crummies other than the NYC 19000 style caboose?
Many Thanks,
Rick

Thanks for the reply.
I believe that to be the same mold as the 19000 series caboose. I am wondering if Lionel did any other style of caboose in die cast.
Rick.
Could be. They also made the same style In NYC jade green at the same time. I believe the story is they were left over units that were supposed to be gold, but that didn't sell so they painted them. Mine came with horrible couplers. I still have them jerry rigged shut with black wire. The smoke unit gives merely a waft, a whisper of smoke. That's ok I guess.
They did make a brass Pennsylvania caboose in the early nineties to go with the monsterous PRR turbine. I believe the cupola is diecast. 6-51702
