Vintage Lionel Lines train cars, track with switchbacks and rail crossing. This cool set has a black tender, an orange Shell tanker car (model 1680), a Curtiss Baby Ruth candy boxcar (model 1879), and a red caboose (model 1682). All are Lionel Lines. Fun for a collector. Includes Track sections and switch backs shown, railroad crossing sign. Add these O-guage, tin, and pre-war gems to your collection! The cars have some surface rust and the Baby Ruth and caboose are missing one coupler each. The track has surface rust and some missing connection pins. We used this as a Christmas display.

Lionel semi scale prewar diecast tank car. The paint on this car is amazing! The diecast frame is laser straight! The only fault I have with it is the Shell decal on one side has flaked off badly. Still displays nicely though.
