2465
Sunoco
Tank Car
1946 - 1948
item# A003-0000002

The 2465 tank car was the first all-new two dome tank car created by Lionel in the postwar era.
Between the 2465 (and its cousin the 6465), this style two dome tank car remained in the Lionel family until 1966. The 2465 was introduced by Lionel in 1946 with Sunoco markings. It contained several nice features and was classified a middle-of-the-line tank car. The realistic look and detail on a 2465 still make it a favorite of collectors and operators.  
Single Decal Per Side - This is a very scarce variation to locate. It is assumed to be part of the earliest production run from 1946.
Two Decals Per Side -  This is the most common 2465 tank car. The common version is to have the 'Sunoco' decal on the left with the
 technical data decal on the right. Occasionally the decals will be reversed, but it is very hard to locate a Sunoco tank car with reversed decals
