This train was part of my late grandfathers train collection. He would often go to train shows looking for uniqie pieces to complete his set or add to his collection. He would put them in display cases or packed away with care taking excellent care of them. I have little knowledge on these trains but will answer any questions that I can. Please refer to photos for condition. Doors are missing from ends of trains, however, both doors are present on the sides of both train cars. Some rust is seen on wheels and on some other areas on the train. Again, refer to photos for details. Pre War Lionel #309 Pullman Passenger Car and #312 Observation Car.
