large mixed-era Lionel O-gauge train set featuring a variety of classic locomotives, rolling stock, and accessories. This collection includes several sought-after vintage pieces along with plenty of track for a full layout.
New York Central passenger cars (Buffalo #5018, Pocono #4152, Lake Ontario #5017).
Assorted freight cars including boxcar, hopper, flatcars, and a “Real Plastic Snow” hopper.
Operation Iraqi Freedom flatcars with artillery and missile loads.
Track
Quite a bit of Lionel O-gauge track (curved and straight sections) included—enough to build a large operating layout.
Condition
All items are pre-owned with signs of age and play. Some cars show paint rubs and light surface wear. Transformer and locomotives are untested and sold as-is. The older pieces (notably the #623 switcher and #2460 crane) are highly collectible in their own right.
