In the case of this car, he scanned a Lionel O gauge model (this was an uncatalogued item from 1979) and reduced the size to OO. At best the result is a semi-scale model, but interesting to see running with other actual Lionel models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/americanootoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Lionel-9315-OO-bottom.jpg?resize=595%2C446&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3349\" width=\"595\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/americanootoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Lionel-9315-OO-bottom.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/americanootoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Lionel-9315-OO-bottom.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/americanootoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Lionel-9315-OO-bottom.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/americanootoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Lionel-9315-OO-bottom.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, when first I got these sides on eBay I was a little disappointed (they were not usable for a scale model) and they sat around for a few years. Then the body of this car came in a lot purchase, in poor shape, and I realized the sides would fit it pretty well. I used pressed cardboard ends, a modified Nason flat car frame, and Johann roller bearing trucks to complete the model. The finished result does match the Hallmark-Lionel F3 models fairly well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another recently completed project was this gondola, one that a Lionel collector might find amusing.
