Lionel Hiawatha 782-783-784 Passenger Set 1935-32 Prewar O 72. This beautiful set is made to go with the Lionel 250E Hiawatha loco (listed elsewhere) and is made up of three articulated cars and two four-wheel bogies connecting them. The cars are complete, with no missing or broken parts. They are in good condition overall with little playwear, though the front car has an area of missing paint (see pictures). They are lighted, with bulbs in each of the bogies, but we have not tested them. The front car couples to the tender with a drawbar (present) and power for the bulbs is drawn through spring pickups under the bogies. All in all, a delightful and rare addition to any serious collection! This item is in the category “Toys & Hobbies\Model Railroads & Trains\Railroads & Trains\Passenger Cars”.
