Lionel 3520 Vintage O Lionel Lines Rotating Operating Searchlight Car VG

This is a Lionel 3520 Vintage O Lionel Lines Rotating Operating Searchlight Car with an Orange Generator from 1952-53. The 3520 Rotating Searchlight Car is similar to the earlier 6520 searchlight car. The newest feature on the 3520 is a remote-control operated on-off switch. This switch allows the operator to activate Lionel‘s ‘Vibro-motor‘ which in turn begins rotating the searchlight lens. The 3520 is a smooth running and reliable operating car. As it moves down the track the searchlight rotates. It also has an on/off switch underneath that is activated by a UCS track section. This car features an orange durable plastic generator, a die-cast metal frame, die-cast metal trucks, die-cast metal operating knuckle couplers, metal wheels and axles.
