This is a Lionel 54 Vintage O Postwar Ballast Tamper Car. This neat motorized unit simulates the tamping down of ballast rock along the track. The small pile drivers move up and down, and the engine also slows down to half speed when the tamping action is activated. The tampers are controlled by activators clipped to the track. It features a pullmor motor, durable painted body, die-cast frame, engineer figure, operating tampers, an ornamental horn, flexible antenna on the rear, red tampers housed in a gray structure on the front, blue man in the cab, and a single non-operating coupler on the rear. This unit only travels forward and operates in two speeds.
