LOTS 2023 Convention Car – Brushy Mountain Distillery Tank Car

February 15, 2023/in Club Cars, News

 

SOLD OUT!

Moonshine, whether legally or illegally produced, is as much a part of our Americana as baseball and drive-ins. As a result of the prohibition of alcohol in the early 1900s, production of moonshine or “homemade spirits” grew. Speakeasies needed a source of “adult beverages” to keep their customers happy!

For 2023, LOTS is offering a 19th century wooden tank car to commemorate the “legal” production of “End of the Line” moonshine at the Historic Brushy Mountain Penitentiary in Petros, Tennessee. This tank car is a “must-have” car for all toy train enthusiasts because of its authentic style and eye-catching graphics. This tank car will become a unique and treasured addition to the family of collectible rail cars offered by the Lionel Operating Train Society. This “limited edition” Lionel-manufactured O-gauge tank car is 9 11/16″ long and features a highly detailed durable ABS body, metal truss rods, and die-cast trucks with operating couplers. It is designed to operate on O-27 or larger curves. Don’t wait to order as we anticipate this car to become a sold out offering quickly.

SOLD OUT!  SOLD OUT!  SOLD OUT!
