Bring a piece of railroad history back to life with this Vintage Lionel Prewar O Gauge Flying Yankee Streamliner Set. Modeled after the iconic Boston and Maine streamliner, this Art Deco masterpiece is a must-have for any serious collector of prewar Lionel. This specific lot is an ideal “project starter” or a treasure trove of authentic replacement parts for a restoration enthusiast. The lot includes the 616 Power Car shell, three 617 Coach shells, and the 618 Observation shell. These pieces feature the classic fluted sides and chrome-style finish that defined the high-speed era of the 1930s. While these shells show the honest patina of time-including surface oxidation and paint wear-they maintain their structural integrity and iconic silhouette. It is missing several articulated trucks and components. Please review the high-resolution photos carefully to see the exact condition of the chrome and paint.
