The Automatic Refrigerated Milk Car
No. 3482 replaced the No. 3472 in the Lionel line in 1954, and was in
production one additional year, until the release of the No. 3662 in 1955.
There are several notable changes between this car and the previously available
No. 3472. The most noticeable of these is the fact that the doors were made out
of WHITE plastic instead of aluminum. Lionel also changed the operating
mechanism to a pneumatic plunger, and the trucks are bar-end instead of
staple-end.
There are two variations:
Variation A: Early 1954 issues still
had the No. "3472" in small writting under the data to the right.
This car is the more difficult variation to find.
Variation B: Has the correct number
"3482" shown on the right.
Variation C: Same as Variation B
except had the old unloading mechanism.
