Lionel Prewar Set No. 261W, 226E 2226W, 2816 3811 2817 + SET BOXHere is a fantastic Set of Lionel late prewar trains - Set No. 261W from 1940. It features the No. 226E 2-6-4 steam locomotive, with its 2226W Whistle Tender. It includes (3) freight cars with the simulated knuckle box couplers and blackened journals - the hard No. 2816 black Hopper - the No. 3811 Lumber car with load - and the No. 2817 tuscan roofed Caboose. All individual Boxes, and the Rare SET BOX. We also have the Operating Instruction Booklet from 1940. All that is pictured below. This set is in fantastic condition for its age. The engine and tender are excellent, with no cosmetic problems that I see, just a little dirty and minor fading on the tender stamp. The engine lights up and runs well. Whistle works on the tender. Both would grade high. The freights are all original and as pictured. The Hopper and the Log Car are real nice. The Caboose has a a small mark on the roof, that has some minor paint scrapes on the roof sides. Most all of the boxes have their flaps reinforced with tape - all except the 3811 Box. The 226E box is missing one end flap and one interior flap. Both the Engine and Tender boxes have their inserts. The set box is in very good condition, with some of the flaps expertly repaired. Label reads well. I took a lot of pictures for you to see all. And, please ask questions. One of my favorite sets. Buy with confidence. Thanks. Price: $1799 SORRY! SOLD!
