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.

NO SET BOX WAS FOUND. ENGINE BOX IS BEST IN ALL AROUND CONDITION WITH ALL FLAPS STILL INTACT! STILL VERY FIRM WITH ONLY A FEW BLEMS AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS. THE 2 COACH BOXES HAVE ONE END FLAP STILL INTACT AND MISSING FLAPS ON OTHER ENDS. THE OBSERVATION CAR BOX HAS BOTH END FLAPS MISSING AND THERE MAY BE A TEAR OR TWO HERE AND THERE. I PUT A DAB OF LIGHT WEIGHT OIL ON ARMATURE SHAFTS AND GEARS AND WAS SURPRISED JUST HOW SMOOTH AND FAIRLY QUIET MOTOR SOUNDED IN RUNNING BACK AND FORTH AS CLEARLY CAN BE SEEN IN VIDEO. THE WHISTLE UNIT MOTOR DOES SPIN AND WHISTLE RELAY DOES WORK, BUT WHISTLE WILL NOT SOUND OFF BECAUSE FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE IMPELLER AIR FINS HAVE DISINEGRATED. IF YOU WANT AN OPERATING WHISTLE, YOU WILL EITHER HAVE TO GET IT REPAIRED OR REPLACE WITH ANOTHER WHISTLE UNIT. ENGINE LOOKS GOOD EXCEPT FOR SOME PAINT CHIPS JUST ABOVE WINDSHIELD AS AGAIN CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN. CARS ALL LOOK PRETTY GOOD TO ME, BUT EXAMINE ALL PHOTOS FOR YOURSELF TO DETERMINE. SOME USUAL WEAR ON THEM AS YOU CAN SEE. PLEASE NOTE ANY SHINY AREAS YOU MAY SEE IN PHOTOS ARE DUE TO PHOTO LIGHTING ABOVE AND NOT IN PAINT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF INTEREST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK.

The Lionel Lines 752W Locomotive Union Pacific with 2 cars 753/754 is a vintage toy train set from the 1930s. This O gauge locomotive is a classic representation of the Union Pacific railway, featuring intricate details and a charming design. Perfect for collectors or train enthusiasts, this pre-war used set is a piece of history that captures the nostalgia of model railroads from that era. Does not come with it’s original box. Performed complete service on both the motor and the whistle motor. Replaced some of the wings. Replaced the missing vestibule sliding center rail contractors and the missing lamps. Tested operation as well. This train runs extremely well if oil is kept off of the wheels and if the axle bearings on the cars are kept well oiled, not greased.
