Now available for sale is an uncatalogued Lionel steam freight set from 1963. According to popular reference books this set was produced for D. O. Klein -- which is an unknown entity at the current time. Production numbers were low with only 2,100 total sets being produced.
Interestingly, this set had two different production runs:
- The first variation included the more common caboose to this set -- a plain brown SP-style caboose with no exterior lettering nor graphics. Production totals for this set with the brown caboose are estimated to be in the area of 1,600 to 1,800 outfits.
- The second and less common variation included a harder-to-find 6120 undecorated yellow work caboose. Production numbers for the set containing the 6120 caboose are estimated to be in the area of several hundred total sets (maybe 300 to 500) -- making this particular set fairly rare!
The outfit available for sale contains all of the original freight cars as produced by Lionel. Each freight car plus the locomotive are complete and not chipped, cracked nor damaged. The steamer has been cleaned, serviced, tested and operates perfectly. Also included are many of the original "extras" including:
