I have a Lionel boxed set number 1449WS from 1948; it contained the 3462 operating milk car. The box for the milk car, and the set box, both have a label attached which reads: “NOTICE PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MILK CAR PLATFORM IS NOT PACKED WITH THE MILK CAR BUT IS MOUNTED ON DISPLAY.” My assumption is that this set may have come with a Lionel factory layout, on which the platform was mounted. Does anyone know whether this set was part of a dealer layout? or, is there another explanation for these labels? Thanks for your input!
A blessed Christmas to you all.
