Collector Corner / Re: red #10 undocumented #1147 set
« on: July 21, 2022, 01:07:56 PM »
"The first 8 set was a boxed with setbox olive loco and two cars. It came from the Lambertville flea market in the later 1960s. I gave the set to my sister's boy so he'd have a train to remember his grandfather."
thx for sharing that--love it Terry...that flea market was called the Golden Nugget. A flea market my Dad took me to in the `70`s..

Collector Corner / red barrels inside 0209...2812X Burnt Orange Gondola/like new
« on: May 14, 2022, 04:13:15 PM »
Like new 2812X burnt orange gondola--last run 1942?..I say this because of what I found inside each of the pull-apart 0209 barrels. Each one had a little red painted barrel. It matches the red paint on 362-78 and 0209 red painted barrels...hmmm...anyone ever see or have?? they do not look amateur/little boy painted. They do resemble a little bit like the prewar 3652 operating gondola barrels too..

thx guys, love this set...really unusual, huh? forgot to mention the tender has a whistle too. Set looks unplayed with so I`m sure there is a sad story behind its condition. Happy New Year all..LM

Collector Corner / Re: PREWAR LIONEL O GAUGE #289E/1688T..1701/02/03 #6502E
« on: October 10, 2021, 06:20:42 AM »I wonder why Madison had a supply of the 1703 head-cars. Lionel over-produced this car that was only used in uncataloged sets??
Also noticed that the AL on each of the 3 car boxes in your set is a different stamp. Helps to prove it was a factory "put-together" from on-hand stock.
Never had the 289E loco box. Have both black and gunmetal locos, but no boxes.
Great set.
yep, all 3 car boxes have different "AL" stampings. I know the 289E is tough, but I'm thinkin this box is a lot harder to find than the actual loco..

tough to find a satin black 289E let alone the box for the loco--I have never seen this loco box, you? this set wasn`t played with much...1937..
