HAULING DIAMONDS 2
57 WORDS

  1. Before we look at (_ _ _ _ _ _ ) cars and accessories designed to haul a ( _ _ ) of simulated black diamonds, we’d be remiss if we overlooked the Nos. 716 and 2956 ( _ _ _ _) and semi-scale hoppers Lionel introduced in 1940.
  2. A portent of the future, the two cars used the same (_ _ _ - _ _ _ ) highly detailed body shell, but differed in their ( _ _ _ ) and ( _ _ _ _ _ ) assemblies. Both also came lettered for the ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ) & Ohio Railroad with the No. 716 intended for use with the Nos. 700EW scale ( _ _ _ _ ) and 701 0 - 6 - 0 switcher while the 2956 could run with any models equipped with ( _ _) or latch couplers such as the No. 763E.
  3. (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ ) Flyer, of course, wasn’t sitting on their hands while ( _ _ _ _ ) was marketing their ( _ _ _ _ ) Nos. 96, 97 & 98 Coal ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ). During the war years (and most likely even earlier than that) their designers were hard at work creating a coal ( _ _ _ _ _) that often ranks higher on collectors’ hit parades.

  1. Before we look at (POSTWAR) cars and accessories designed to haul a (LOAD) of simulated black diamonds, we’d be remiss if we overlooked the Nos. 716 and 2956 (SCALE) and semi-scale hoppers Lionel introduced in 1940.
  2. A portent of the future, the two cars used the same (DIE - CAST) highly detailed body shell, but differed in their (TRUCK) and (COUPLER) assemblies. Both also came lettered for the (BALTIMORE) & Ohio Railroad with the No. 716 intended for use with the Nos. 700EW scale (HUDSON) and 701 0 - 6 - 0 switcher while the 2956 could run with any models equipped with (BOX) or latch couplers such as the No. 763E.
  3. (AMERICAN) Flyer, of course, wasn’t sitting on their hands while (LIONEL) was marketing their (PREWAR) Nos. 96, 97 & 98 Coal (ELEVATORS). During the war years (and most likely even earlier than that) their designers were hard at work creating a coal (LOADER) that often ranks higher on collectors’ hit parades.
  4. The A. F. No. 752 (SEABOARD) Coaler stood 16 inches tall and required the operator to (DUMP) Flyer’s No. 23 coal into a metal (TRAY) either by hand or with a No. 716 Automatic Dump Car.
  5. Operating the (CLAMSHELL) bucket to hoist coal up into the 752’s hopper was even more fascinating (and engaging) than watching the scoops on Lionel’s Nos. 96 & 97 elevators of 1938.
  6. The only possible drawback to the early No. 752 was that a (CAR) had to be in position under the (CHUTE), as the 1946 version had no way of storing it’s load. This was “corrected” in 1951 when
