I have a Lionel 3454 Operating Boxcar I would like to replace the frame (Steps are Missing on mine) do any other cars share this same frame?
If anyone has one in their parts pile for sale let me know!
Thanks in advance!

Mike have you tried Olson and looking up the frame part number? The car is not listed in the Greenberg Repair Manual but the frame looks like the one P/N 3462-86 from the milk car. Olson's has the entire series of Lionel Repair Instructions, just search by the 3454 number and see what comes up. Hope this helps.
The frame seems to be part #3454-6 and is unique to that car only. No other car uses that frame.

Thanks for the help guys!!
I'd just fabricate replacement steps from brass wire, drill small holes in the frame using the stubs as a guide, solder or JB-Weld the steps in place, paint and enjoy your car!
