WILLIAMS & LIONEL PREWAR STANDARD GAUGE 381E THE OLYMPIAN LOCOMOTIVE PASSENGER CAR SET 412 413 416. 381E OLYMPIAN TYPE ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE. 412 CALIFORNIA PULLMAN CAR. 413 COLORADO PULLMAN CAR. 416 NEW YORK OBSERVATION CAR. HIGHLY DETAILED METAL LOCOMOTIVE BODY AND FRAME. METAL LATCH STYLE COUPLERS. METAL WHEELS AND AXLES. WINDOW FILM STYLE INSERTS. FULLY FURNISHED INTERIORS WITH SEATING AND BATHROOMS. SHEET METAL TRUCKS WITH BOX JOUNALS. THE ENGINE IS A WILLIAMS LOCOMOTIVE WITH A PREWAR LIONEL MOTOR AND THE PASSENGER CARS ARE REPRODUCTIONS. THE LOCOMOTIVE HAS BEEN TESTED AND OPERATES IN FORWARD AND REVERSE AS IT SHOULD, BUT WE WOULD RECOMMEND GIVING THIS SET A FULL SERVICING BEFORE RUNNING IT. SOME OF THE WINDOW FILM IS LOOSE IN SPOTS AND THE ROOF LATCHES WILL LIKELY NEED SOME LIGHT ADJUSTMENTS IN ORDER TO OPERATE SMOOTHER THAN THEY PRESENTLY DO. A FEW OF THE PARTS HAVE SOME SLIGHT WIGGLE BUT ARE STILL IN PLACE JUST FINE. THE PASSENGER CARS ARE UNTESTED FOR ILLUMINATION AT THE TIME OF THIS LISTING BUT THE WIRING INSIDE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. THE LOCOMOTIVE AND PASSENGER CARS, GIVEN THEIR AGE, ARE STILL IN GREAT CONDITION. THIS SET IS 99% RUST FREE. PLEASE NOTE: WE HAD ORIGINALLY LISTED THIS AS AN ORIGINAL LIONEL SET, BUT WE HAVE RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM A FELLOW LIONEL COLLECTOR THAT BELIEVES THE PASSENGER CARS ARE REPRODUCTIONS. HE DID NOT SPECIFY WHY HE BELIEVES THEM TO BE SO, BUT WITHOUT GIVING TOO INFORMATION, HE SEEMS TO BE CREDIBLE. WE HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO RESEARCH TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MAKES HIM BELIEVE THESE ARE REPRODUCTIONS, BUT IN CASE THEY ARE, PLEASE NOTE THAT THEY MAY BE REPRODUCTIONS. AS FAR AS I CAN FIND, LIONEL, WILLIAMS, AND MTH ARE THE ONLY COMPANIES THAT HAD ANY LICENSING TO REPRODUCE THIS STYLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THE LIONEL CLASSICS REPRODUCTION HAD A PLATE ON THE BOTTOM WITH LIONEL TRAINS, INC. AND SMALL RAISED RIVETS ON THE BOTTOM PAN. THE WILLIAMS REPRODUCTIONS LINE WAS ONLY ALLOWED TO RUN WITH THE LIONEL BRANDING UNTIL 1976 WHEN THEY WERE ASKED TO REMOVE ANY LIONEL BRANDING FROM THEIR PRODUCTS. THE WILLIAMS REPRODUCTION PASSENGER STATE SET LINE WAS INTRODUCED IN 1980. THE MTH LINE OF THIS SERIES ALSO DOES NOT FEATURE THE LIONEL LINES NAME PLATES, AND VERY DIFFERENT WINDOW INSERTS THAT FEATURE A FLATTER PATTERN TO THE ABOVE WINDOW ASTHETIC. IF YOU OR ANY ONE YOU KNOW HAS ANY INFORMATION TO HELP US AUTHENTICATE THESE PIECES, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SEE PHOTO’S AND ASK? . MORE PHOTO’S ON REQUEST.
