LGB 4031 White Coca-Cola Coke Box Car

LGB 4031 White Coca-Cola Coke Box Car

According to the Official Guide to LGB, this car was released in 1980 and was uncatalogued, and limited edition.  Four wheel box car, European style, white SW4(B) body, exactly the same as the more common 4031 Pepsi car, but has white painted Coca-Cola logo on red background on raised plaque on body side at hook coupler end of car.  Filigree roof supports on platform end. Gray LA1 roof, embossed "4031" ID (see pictures). 

Extremely rare car as production was cancelled because of licensing problem and most of the cars produced were destroyed.  Probably less than 25 reached the United States.

Not to be confused with Primus 40832 Coca-cola car, which carries "4032" embossed ID number.
