    Description

    Lionel #6105, Reading Operating Short Hopper w/ Coal, ca 1982
    This rare hopper is a sturdy and stylish piece in classic Tuscan Red, sporting the famous red/white/black
    Reading logo. Includes an unopened bag of coal, which is dispensed when the car is centered over a special, easily available magnetic track. I have included shots of the bottom so you can see the apparatus is in excellent shape.
    Original box included, normal wear and tear. Lionel boxes of the 1970s
    and
    80s were a bit flimsier because of the big plastic windows, and show wear and tear a bit more, but are also covered with drawings and/or photos of other trains and accessories that were for sale at the time. Any serious damage will be shown in my pictures.
    This is from my father's collection. A lifelong inhabitant of New York City and an avid Lionel collector since childhood, he kept his collection in excellent shape, in custom-built storage cases and in the original packaging as often as possible. Of course, there is some normal wear and tear but if a piece or its packaging has any damage beyond that, I will include it in the description and/or pictures.
    Our family has selected our favorite pieces and would like to see that the rest go to people or places that will also appreciate them. We have many pieces of Lionel rolling stock, buildings, and equipment as well as various books and ephemera from a happy long life as a railfan.
    There are hundreds of pieces and it will take several months to list them all, so keep an eye on my account to see if a piece you'd like is listed. We have items from the 1930s to the early 2000s. Please let me know if you have any questions.
    I will be happy to combine items to reduce shipping costs if you buy more than one item. Please don't pay until you've bought all the items you'd like to be sent at once so I can combine the invoice and calculate the shipping.
