Product Overview
Condition: 7+ Original Box: 7+ Year: 1957
Here's an extremely clean, all original Hudson four car O gauge steam freight set. This 1957 outfit has been well cared for over the years and all of the components are nice, undamaged and operating as designed by Lionel. This set includes several extras generally missing from complete boxed sets. As you review the 24 photos, you'll notice all of the items have correct 1957 manufacturing characteristics as well as properly dated instruction sheets.
Regarding the condition of the rolling stock, steam locomotive and tender, everything is clean, complete, free of rust and oxidation and graded at an 7+. The exterior paint on each train is vibrant, the side lettering is crisp and the numbers and graphics are clean and complete. Lastly, all boxes are the correct Late Classic variation (correct for this set) and the original boxes are nice and solid with only a few boxes missing some interior flaps.
All of the trains in this set have been cleaned, tested, serviced and the steamer runs like a champ plus the tender whistle is loud and strong! Included in this set are the following:
- 665 Hudson with 2046W tender. Both items are clean, complete and not damaged. The only blemish on the steamer are a couple of minor marks on the top in front of the cab. Otherwise, the steamer and tender are clean, free of rust and oxidation and both items have been fully cleaned, serviced, tested and all functionality works as designed. Additionally, each of their original boxes and inserts are complete and solid and the steamer includes a near-full bottle of smoke pellets, wooden tamper, tube of lubricant.
