BEWARE SDRAWKCAB ANSWERS

  1. Lionel’s very first (_ _ ), the No. 200 ( _ _ _ _ _ ), was, of course, made of ( _ _ ). It ran on rails pressed into real wood ( _ _ ) and the 1906 early ( _ _ _ _ _ _ ) Gauge steamers had numerous ( _ _ _ _ _) wood parts. But this puzzle isn’t about how Lionel used wood parts in production.
  2. It’s about how Lionel modeled the (_ _ _ _ _ ) industry from 1926 to 1969. While Lionel cataloged the No. 11 ( _ _ _ _ _ ) from 1906 through 1926, no ( _ _ _) was provided till the No. 211 arrived to replace it.
  3. All 211’s included a “(_ _ _ _ )” of milled lumber made of a single block of wood with ( _ _ _ _ _ ) routed in it to suggest individual ( _ _ _ _ ). The only collectable variations to these cars, which were always painted ( _ _ _ ), deal with the length of the ( _ ) layer of “planks” and whether the ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) is on the right or left (because the frame was inserted upside down into the press.)
  4. You could, of course, remove the one-piece load from the No. 211, or the slightly smaller No. 511 that came along in 1927, and use your (_ _ _ _ _ ) Toys or ( _ _ _ _ _ ) Logs or even twigs as loads, just as kids did with the No. 11.

BEWARE SDRAWKCAB ANSWERS

  1. Lionel’s very first (CAR), the No. 200 (GONDOLA), was, of course, made of (WOOD). It ran on rails pressed into real wood (TIES) and the 1906 early (STANDARD) Gauge steamers had numerous (TURNED) wood parts. But this puzzle isn’t about how Lionel used wood parts in production.
  2. It’s about how Lionel modeled the (LUMBER) industry from 1926 to 1969. While Lionel cataloged the No. 11 (FLATCAR) from 1906 through 1926, no (LOAD) was provided till the No. 211 arrived to replace it.
  3. All 211’s included a “(STACK)” of milled lumber made of a single block of wood with (GROOVES) routed in it to suggest individual (PLANKS). The only collectable variations to these cars, which were always painted (BLACK), deal with the length of the (TOP) layer of “planks” and whether the (BRAKEWHEEL) is on the right or left (because the frame was inserted upside down into the press.)
  4. You could, of course, remove the one-piece load from the No. 211, or the slightly smaller No. 511 that came along in 1927, and use your (TINKER) Toys or (LINCOLN) Logs or even twigs as loads, just as kids did with the No. 11. But, it wasn’t until late in the 511’s run that the always (GREEN) car began coming with (INDIVIDUAL) planks.
