Here is a beautiful original example of this prewar Lionel o gauge passenger set. This is set #266E, and it includes 0-4-0 #254E loco, 2 (two) #610 Pullman cars, #612 Observation, all in light olive with brass trim/plates, all of the original boxes, correct original set box, original track, and original rheostat. All pieces are all original with no touchup or repaint ever. The loco is beautiful, showing very little wear with only a couple small nicks. All 3 cars are excellent as well, showing light wear with a couple small nicks. The roofs of the set have a few small white paint specs, most likely from a paint splatter sometime in its life. I’m sure with a polish they could be removed. One coupler on the loco is missing. The loco retains its original wheels which have swelled and cracked. They would need to be replaced if you wanted to run the loco. All other trim is intact on the set, with some window trim being partially loose. The loco box is very nice, with all flaps and a good stamping. The car boxes are rough, with most all flaps missing, and only one end flap present. One side seam on one box is separated. The set box is nice and square with all flaps and a good end label. It has a bright clear set number stamping. There are a couple split corners on the top section and some edge tears. Includes nice original track and an original rheostat. Please examine photos as they are the best description. Nice original example of this original owner set, do not miss it!

Very nice 811 out of an Original 1 owner set! Original box is way better than average (look at pics). Missing 1 brass stake. May clean up to C8 EX+ with a polish!
