Up for sale is a beautiful set of green tinplate passenger cars manufactured by Lionel in the late 1940's. Below is a summary of this beautiful set:
- Each car has the correct magnetic couplers and staple-end trucks. Additionally, all wheels and center rail contacts are free of rust and oxidation.
- The exterior colors are vibrant and the side lettering is crisp and complete.
- All interior lights have been tested and do illuminate.
- Each car has their original window inserts although they are held in place by scotch tape at each end.
- The roofs are clean, free of dents and dings but there are some very light or minor surface marks from handling and/or storage.
- Overall condition of the sides and base are closer to condition 8 or better, the roofs are condition 7++.
- Each passenger car has it's original Middle Classic box. However, as seen in the photos above, the boxes are closer to a sleeve, not a box as almost all end flaps and interior flaps are missing.
