Lionel Set # 787W w/ 763E 2226WX 2956 2954 2955 2957Here is a wonderful Lionel prewar semi-scale set you won't see very often - Lionel Set No. 787W from 1940-41. This features the black Lionel 763E semi-scale Hudson with its No. 2226WX coal-pile whistle Tender. It pulls (4) semi-scale freights, the No. 2956 B&O Hopper, the No. 2954 PRR Boxcar, the No. 2955 Shell Tank Car, and the No. 2957 Caboose. This set includes all the individual boxes, a No. 167 whistle controller in OB. Additionally, we have the Instructions booklet, instruction sheets and other paper - including a wonderful inspection slip and Christmas Card. Most importantly, it includes the rarely seen No. 787W SET BOX. What a great set, and probably one of my favorites next to the scale 700E sets. Overall, you will be surprised at the wonderful condition of this set - as seen in all 82 pictures below. The set is anchored by an almost MINT 763E Hudson and 2226WX Tender. The engine is beautiful. I can't find anything wrong with it. When tested on a test track the engine ran as it should. Patina looks almost like new. The 2226WX Tender is similarly graded. The engine Box does have some minor staining. The 2226WX Box is really nice for this hard to find box. All flaps present, no tape. Interior lining and one sheet of wrapper. The freight cars are also in great condition. Just minute things to point out. The Caboose has a minor scratch on one side, and minor swelling on one side, as seen from the bottom. All other castings are excellent. The boxes all have their interior linings, and most their original wrapping. A couple of the boxes have been repaired on the flaps. So old tape residue is present. Some minor wear as pictured. It look like the the Set Box was used as a shipping carton. Has old paper tape and "fragile" stickers on the sides. Shows wear here and there, but it has a strong label and is sturdy and intact. This is a neat set, and one that you will be proud to own. A true collectible that you can put away for years - surely to increase in value over time. Buy with confidence. Thanks. Price: $4875 SORRY! SOLD!
