The Lehigh Valley Hopper Car No. 6476-60 is listed in the Production Table as Variation B of the Type V BLACK plastic body that has WHITE lettering. This car was available in 1957 and shows the number "25000" on the sides of the car. This is not Lionel’s production number. The actual number is printed to the right, "6476," at the bottom of the sixth panel.
Almost all of the No. 6476 cars are distinguished by the fact that they have operating disc couplers at both ends of the car. This variation came with AAR trucks and steps at all four corners of the chassis. However This car did not have a brake wheel and it came in a box that was labeled "No. 6476-60" or "6476-85."
