Well, here it is: I went to the Greenberg show today, only looking for a box to fit a K-Line
single-dome tank car. Didn't find a box, BUT, I stumbled into this find on the corner of a table
I was only half paying attention to. Here was a Lionel 6464-size boxcar #6-29202, a Santa Fe
tuscan red marked 'El Capitan' for $27.
I can remember oh, maybe 45-48 years ago when I saw the postwar version of this car on the
shelf in Rosewood Hobby in Linden, N.J. Never bought it, as others would catch my eye and I
let this one slip by. I have no idea what a postwar in good-excellent would cost, but this one
today fit the bill. Funny thing though, I came home and tried to look it up online in Lionel's
product search, but got no result. Could this car have been uncatalogued? Maybe so, for, had
I seen it advertised, I would have grabbed it long ago. Year of manufacture is 1997.
