Lionel 3435 Vintage O Operating Traveling Aquarium Car EX/Box

Here is a Lionel 3435 Vintage O Operating Traveling Aquarium Car from 1959-62. It is a postwar classic. As it moves down the track the fish appear to swim around in the tank. Actually the fish are printed on a clear filmstrip attached to a vibrator motor that moves the strip around inside, and the glass on the side of the car is rippled along with the illumination behind it that creates a real neat effect. The car also features interior illumination, plastic trucks, operating knuckle couplers, metal wheels and plastic axles.

This item has been graded per TCA standards C-7: Excellent based on visual appearance. The car operates but the lighting dims toward one end of the car; it makes a loud buzzing noise during operation. The wheels and trim parts show faint wear and the shell is lighting scratched. The original box is included but damaged. Please check the photos for a detailed look at this item. Overall condition is Excellent.
