Estate found, Lionel Pre War 318E Locomotive Green Tin Plate Standard Gauge Train. Still in excellent original condition, very minor paint wear on the center & corner of the roof as shown. The estate owner never ran any of his trains, he just displayed them on shelves, but this was tested when first bought, and worked fine. The Last two photos show the 3 passenger trains that go to this set but are listed separately, A better price could be worked out for the entire set. Please check out all my photos. !

#318E Locomotive – This heavy loco includes an instruction card on how to oil it with machine oil. The wheels underneath the loco look cracked and brittle with age. I wiped this down gently but it is a little grimy.
