has there been a reissue of this or is the post war one the only one out. this is the cattle stockyard. if there is a re issue does anyone know the number. thanks
No, Lionel never has reissued the 3656 stockyard.
Did Lionel make a HO version of that also either 3656 or another version close to it? My gf’s brother picked up at a auction what looked like the car from the stockyard and what looks like the 3444 Erie Animated Gondola but kept insisting they were HO but they looked too big to be.
I think Lionel did some of that stuff in 00. If I recall correctly, that’s between H0 & 0.

Lionel did acually do the cattle car and cattle stockyard in HO and also did a few other items including the milk car and platform also exploding boxcar and a rocket launcing car to hit the boxcar, also the helo launching car and a few others. they also had a 050 gang car. most of the items that lionel did that were copies of the O/O27 gauge had a 0 infront of the same number they had in O/O27
I know it’s a dumb question but was Lionel’s HO cars bigger then regular HO’s were? Normally i’d assume they were keeping to the HO standard but since Lionel’s HO was 3 rail and the rest was 2 rail it’s not like they were worried about people mixing and matching. The OO could be possible too all i know was it was about 3/4 the size of a regular Lionel O boxcar and didn’t know if it was undersize for O or oversize for HO. He showed me a piece of track and said that it was Lionel HO track which even that looked big compared to HO stuff i’ve seen from now and partly figured it was because of the 3rd rail. If i didn’t question the sizing of both cars and he had more of the stock yard or i knew where to get the missing stuff for it without dropping a mint to get the stuff might of made him an offer for them since all he’s going to do is resell them. The only thing that was missing on the 3444 was the police officer i think.
Lionel HO was actually Rivarossi and was 2-rail DC. Lionel made OO in both 2-rail and 3-rail versions. The scale is 1/76 or 4 millimeters/foot. It ran on 3/4-inch gauge track, unlike British OO, which uses HO gauge.
Thanks for the info then that explains a few things the track did look about 3/4 inch wide.
