Lionel No. 6315 Sunoco Chemical Tank Car O Gauge with Original Box - This vintage Lionel O-gauge model is a two-dome chemical tank car in Sunoco livery. The vehicle features a silver-painted plastic tank mounted on a black painted metal frame. While the car frame is stamped with the number 6465, the original box identifies the item as No. 6315. The car is equipped with die-cast metal trucks and mechanical couplers. The tank body includes metal handrails and two domes. On one side, the car displays a red and yellow diamond logo with Sunoco and Capacity 8000 Gals. The other side is printed with technical details including Built by Lionel, the circled L logo, and regulatory data such as U.S. Safety Appliance Standard and A.R.A. Spec. III. The original orange and blue cardboard box is present and marked for the Lionel Corporation. The tank car is in good vintage condition with light surface dust and minor wear to the silver-painted finish. Decals remain legible with minimal fading. The metal components show very little oxidation. The original box exhibits moderate shelf wear including rubbing at the edges, minor creasing, and light staining, but all flaps are present.
