The future of model railroading.

[Tyson Rayles]

The Girls set in the pic is missing the caboose (or it's off camera) and the last two cars are not part of the set. It was re-issued in the 80's and again around the early 2000's. The re-issues are worth a few hundred in new condition but the orginal made in the 50's can bring as much as $2000 in mint condition w/the orginal boxes. Book price though is probably closer to $1500. There was a comment earlier about Lionel might be the last trains still made in America, sadly no. They went to China sometime in the 80's I think it was. For those that don't know me, I'm not a collector and I really don't have any interest in Lionel trains for myself as I'm a scale modeler but I do work in a Lionel Museum.
