The 3859 operating O gauge dump car is a slightly longer version of the 3659 dumper, introduced in LIONEL's line of 1938 remote controlled operating rolling stock. The 3859 remained in production through the end of pre-war production. The shorter version continued in postwar production through 1948 but with the new knuckle couplers. Except for a few changes to trucks and couplers, the 3859 stayed pretty much the same until the ending of pre-war production. These were great eye-catchers and their trouble-free operation was the result of a fairly simple system of durability and good engineering as well as quality production. I like these long dumpers and have quite a string of them in full operating order. Twelve of them can challenge the average lay-put and can sure put the average locomotive to the test. This particular 3859 was received in near perfect condition; just a bit of light-duty cleaning and a few dabs of lubrication and this classic worked like a charm.Read full review
