Overview:

General American Milk Cars

Lionel's popular Milk Car is back! Built in the early 1900's and active through the 1950's, these unique freight cars were equipped with twin glass-lined tanks to keep milk cool and fresh. They were typically coupled to passenger trains in order to get the fresh perishable cargo to its destination as quickly as possible. Lionel's scale milk car features two plated milk tanks that are viewable underneath the removable roof or from the body sides when the hinged doors are opened. They also feature realistic die-cast metal passenger trucks and sprung buffers just like the prototype.
