Landscaped Diner

1942
8.0 x 26.0 cm

Catering to car-driving families, the diner emerged during the 1930s as a new kind of highway restaurant. Lionel easily adapted their 610 Pullman car body to create their own roadside diner in an effort to expand their range of scenic accessories. Affixed atop a wood base, the diner could be illuminated, and it featured green-dyed sea sponges to suggest shrubs and hedges. Wartime restrictions on steel manufacturing ended production of this toy and most of Lionel’s line in 1942.
