The 6415 Sunoco triple-dome tank car was one of only two triple-dome tankers produced by Lionel in the postwar era — the other being the 6425 Gulf. Lionels model is a detailed and realistic representation of an actual 70 ton tank car. The 6415 Sunoco tank car is easy to locate and generally reasonably priced when found. The standard features of the 6415 include a painted silver tank, molded black plastic frame, metal handrails, two metal ladders, brakestand with brakewheel, two operating couplers plus a filler cap next to each dome.
