Hello,

 

I had noticed this shortly after I acquired it, but it was only now that I thought to bring it up.

 

Notice the inconsistency in the markings:

 

Time Travel Box Car

 

 

 

I only have two explanations for this :

 

1. The box car was built in 2008 and then somehow managed to get sent back in time before or in 1955 (there could be several scenarios to justify a rebuild).

 

2. The rebuild date actually refers to the year 2055.

 

Either way, it explains the presence of roller-bearing trucks.

 

 

So, who else has rolling stock that was built new after it's rebuild date?

Aaarrrrggghhhhhh!  My pet peeve with Lionel freight cars.

 

They go to the trouble of designing and producing a great looking (accurate, scale) freight car with prototypical marks and then stamp "MADE 2xxx BY LIONEL" on it! 

 

Why don't you put that on the underside?

 

Sheesh.

 

I'd like to use that Dr. Who car to travel back in time and slap someone upside the head!
