Now hearing offers for this genuine antique LOT of 27 pieces. In the model train industry since 1900. This Pre War era collection of 27 pieces. Was originally owned and enjoyed by my Dad. His railroad began with the charming. 1928 Electric Passenger Car. This was a matching 3 car boxed set. (cardboard box long gone). Red Locomotive w/ filament headlights , &. Lionel Multivolt Transformer Aladdin Y (untested). O gauge CURVED 3-rail track. O gauge STRAIGHT 3-rail track, stamped Lionel NY. (more track than the SET came with originally; it came with 8 sections). To further add to his. He soon acquired 4 additional cars and the 90-degree cross track. Box Car, Pea Green /. Lumber Car, forest green. Load of natural wood Lumber. (Circa 1927 – 34), barrels not included. 90-degree Cross Track w/ original gold foil tag. I have not cleaned, serviced or run it recently. I do recall setting it up occasionally, in the 1950’s. 60’s and’70’s at which time it ran swell. I recall it speeding along with the headlights working, while in the background tunes of Bing Crosby playing on the stereo console. From that point, it’s been safely stored indoors. My Dad built a custom wall-mounted display case for his train set. Contact me if interested, it’s quite large and I’d rather sell it locally, near Sacramento, California. The trains appears in typical condition for their age, with a little patina and small dings here and there. I’m truly happy to say, it shows signs that some red-blooded American kid was having fun 90 years ago! Long may they run. And bring enjoyment to the child in all of us!
