Here is a Lionel 3469 Vintage O Lionel Lines Black Automatic Dump Car from 1949-55. When activated by remote control the bin tilts up and dumps its load into a waiting trackside bin or 97, 397, or 497 operating coal loader. The 3469 Coal Dump Car (also known as the automatic ore dump car) is a continuation of it predecessor — the 3459 operating coal dump car. The major difference is the coupler type — now updated to reflect Lionels new magnetic couplers. The 3459 and 3469 are based on a prototype dump car of an eastern United States railroad. The 3469 is a versatile freight car. It can operate with any of Lionels coal-related accessories such as: 97 Coal Elevator, 397 Coal Loader or the 497 Coaling Station. The 3469 is known for its sturdiness and reliability. This dump car features die-cast metal trucks, die-cast metal operating knuckle couplers, metal wheels and axles.
