Lionel Prewar Standard Gauge Coal Train #393E: #390E 2-4-2 Diecast Steam Loco, with enameled heavy tin #390T Tender, 3 Each #516 Hoppers, and a #517 Caboose. Set is in original condition, shows relatively light play wear. The most noticeable flaw is a keystone (likely PRR) shaped scrape on one side of the tender (fairly light) and on one side of the caboose. The train shows some light play wear but overall effect is excellent. The wheels of the engine show no signs of metal fatigue. The set was offered in 1929 only. The hoppers have gold rubber-stamped lettering with capacity data on the sides. The #517 caboose is unique to this set: red body and black roof. The #390E locomotive runs well with a smooth reverse unit. The headlight of the loco works as does the light above the rear platform of the caboose. This set does not include track or a transformer. And bulky set is going to be steep.
