Lionel 1952 2190W Santa Fe AA F3 Passenger Set 2343 2531 2532 ++ (DAKOTApaul)

Here is a very nice original No. 2190W Santa Fe Super-Streamliner "O" gauge Passenger Set that Lionel made in 1952. This Set includes the No. 2343 Santa Fe F-3 AA Diesels with dual motors, magnetraction and horn. Also, the illuminated aluminum passenger cars - the No. 2531 Silver Dawn Observation, the No. 2532 Silver Range Vista Dome, the No. 2533 Silver Cloud Pullman and the No. 2534 Silver Bluff Pullman. Also includes all the individual boxes with interior linings, and the Set Box. All that is pictured (please click the link to view ALL the photographs before bidding)

 

Overall, this set has a lot going for it. I would say the 2343 Santa Fe engines are real nice shape with a couple of places where the paint is nicked. As you can see these are on the black plastic mold shells. Mostly on the top dome fans. Also, the decals have minor wear (as pictured below). No corrosion in the battery area. Inside is nice and clean. The Engine runs in forward and reverse, but will need a good cleaning to run perfectly as these are over 60 yrs. old, the horn has not been tested. The red are still bright on both, silver a little faded. The passenger cars range from very good to excellent. They all have the rivets attaching the name plates. It appears to me that all the bottoms have been painted a flat black. The observation is missing its back door - which can be replaced. The T Box is missing one end flap, all Boxes include their original inserts. The individual boxes are excellent. The 2533 has one end flap that has been replaced, but all the others looks real good with inserts. The set box overall is in very nice condition. Shows some weakness on the taped corner. Has some tape residue, and some wear as pictured. Overall, a great set of trains. Don't miss. I took A LOT of pictures for you to see all, and if anything is not apparent please email. Thanks.
