| Catalog # | Item | Grade | Photo | Price | Description & More Information |
| 125 | Whistle Shack | E++/OB | Yes | $ 30 | Also called the "Whistle Station" -- this one is the version from late 1955 with the LIGHT GRAY base. The shack is white with a red door, red windows, red toolbox lid and a maroon roof.
Photo of the shack. Another great example of Lionel's ingenuity: this accessory shares its house, roof and toolbox cover with the #145 Automatic Gateman; in addition, the whistle mechanism is identical to the ones in tenders with the horizontal version of the whistle such as the streamlined 2046W tenders. Another view of the shack. A few light scuffs on the roof and that's about it for flaws! The unit is completely intact and very, very clean! Photo of the instruction sheet. Comes with the correct original instruction sheet #125-23, dated 4/55 (tears, creases, discolored) and the correct, original #90 controller. Grade 7+ original box (creases; writing; "aged" look; no insert. Photo of the box. A few flaws but this St. Joe Paper Co. corrugated box is clean, square and sturdy! The 125 is a great whistle source for operators who have a transformer with worn-out whistle controls or for someone without a whistling tender. This one was serviced and it works perfectly! It is a nice piece in a presentable box! |
| 299 | Code Transmitter Set | VG+ | Yes | $175 | Here's a RARE item from the "Space and Military" series: the Code Transmitter Set from 1961-1963 which consists of the #299-25 Telegraph Key and the #299-50 Beacon Tower. The Beacon Tower has a square black base measuring 3 1/4inches by 3 1/4inches and a gray tower measuring 11 3/4 inches high.
Two views of the Beacon Tower. If the tower is connected to the key, the beacon lights and the buzzer sounds simultaneously. If the key is connected to the transformer without the tower, the buzzer can be actuated; if the tower is connected to the transformer without the transmitter, the light will glow continuously. Photo of the Telegraph Key and the instruction sheet. Has the original (equally rare) instruction sheet: #299-14, dated 9/61. Photo of the Morse Code on the label of the transmitter. The searchlight housing is tarnished plus the lens is scratched and scuffed (a brand new repro lens will be provided for free upon request); in addition there is some (factory) glue on the tower (a mystery as to why as nothing is cracked or broken and nothing has been repaired plus we have seen this flaw a number of times before). All parts of this accessory are very clean and completely intact plus the beacon lights and the transmitter key works perfectly! Few collectors will ever have the opportunity to buy this very interesting, very uncommon accessory. |
| 310 | Complete 1951 Billboard Sheet |
VG | Yes | $ 20 | A complete 1951 sheet of 10 card-stock billboards. This assortment of original billboards includes these ads: (PLYMOUTH -- WRIGLEY'S -- HALLICRAFTERS TELEVISIONS -- HEINZ -- FRIGIDAIRE -- BABY RUTH -- DuPONT -- ATLANTIC GAS -- SILVER SPRINGS -- GENERAL TIRE).
Close-up of the top four billboards. Partially separated in places plus some tape in the back; has moisture stains. Close-up of the bottom six billboards. This is only the third complete 1951 set that we have ever offered for sale! If you have a boxed 1951 Lionel train set, it is not complete without this billboard sheet! |
| 342 | Culvert Loader | Loader: E++ Car: E+++ Set: OB |
Yes | $175 | The operating Culvert Loader from 1957: includes the special 6342 New York Central Culvert Gondola and seven (7) ORIGINAL culvert pipes (discolored with age).
Photo of the Loader. Has a black metal base, tan superstructure (loading platform), light-gray loading rack plus a red building with a dark-gray roof. Photo of the loading side. Measures 11 1/2 inches long, 10 inches wide and 6 inches high. Photo of one end showing the traveling crane. The metal base has a few paint chips and some minor touch-up and that's it for flaws! The unit is completely intact and very, very clean with crisp lettering; it works very well at just over 12 volts! An "aerial" view of the accessory. Has the original envelope #342-48 (tears, wrinkles, stains, tape) containing the correct original #90 controller, three unused (still coiled) connecting wires and the original instruction sheet #342-46, dated 9/56 (discolored). Photo of the envelope, instruction sheet, controller and wires. Photo of the car before being loaded. Car: correct earlier version with bar-end metal trucks with tab couplers (the later version has plastic trucks); a built date of "New 2-49" (the later one has no built date); it is molded in a medium red color (the later one is translucent red). Photo of the other side of the car with its load. Minimal flaws -- it is very, very clean with crisp lettering! Photo of the pipes and an "aerial" view of the car. Photo of the box. Grade 7+ original box. Another view of the box. Box flaws: tears; creases; tape residue; "period" price stamping; "aged" look; missing the smaller insert. Photo of the top of the box. The box was made by the St. Joe / Kraft Paper Company and the year (designated by a "6") is shown as part of the manufacturer's information on the bottom of the box. Photo of the bottom of the box showing the manufacturer's information and year. Has the main insert and this box is solid: fairly clean, square and sturdy! Photo of the box insert. A high-quality, sharp accessory with a beautiful car in a very presentable box! Not an easy item to find this nice! |
