For sale is a Vintage Lionel Pre-War Union Pacific Streamliner Trains. Trains itself are in pretty good condition for its age. Train 753 has a dent on the end, and I believe train 754 has a broken wheel. They all have usual scuffs and ware. Comes with some of the original tracks as well as 3 original boxes. Boxes aren’t in the best condition. I believe these are gen 1s or the first year/line of the 10 year span of when these came out. Super nice collecter piece. Look at photos for condition and for what you’re getting. I originally put the tracks with them as I thought they were original with the train but there not. If you’re interested in taking the tracks as well I can add them in, just send me a message.
