TP O #2814 Boxcar/cream&org

Along with its top-of-the-line standard gauge freight cars, Lionel
upgraded its high-end O gauge freight line in 1926: “In designing this
marvelous new series of Lionel ‘O’ Gauge Freight Cars, our aim has been
to express the individuality of every type of commercial freight car
used on all railroads. Many new features never before carried out to
such perfection are apparent in these cars.” Catalog numbers, initially
in the 800 series when the cars were equipped with latch couplers, were
changed to 2800 series when new automatic box couplers were added in
1938.
