|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Catalog # | Item | Grade | Photo | Price | Description & More Information |
| 125 | Whistle Shack | E++/OB | Yes | $ 75 | 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! |
| 128 | Animated Newsstand | E++/OB | Yes | $145 ON HOLD |
A very nice operating newsstand from 1957-60: a rather amusing structure featuring a newsboy peddling newspapers out front while an attendant moves back and forth inside and a black and white dog chases its tail by a fire hydrant.
Photo of the slide switch and another view of the Newsstand. Version with a dark-green shack on a brown mold; has a tan base and a red roof. The base measures 8 1/2 inches wide, by 6 1/4 inches deep and the entire unit is 4 1/4 inches high. A third view of the Newsstand. Has the common cracking of the decals on the counter and that's about it for flaws! The unit is all original and very, very clean plus it is rust free and it lights and works great! Includes the correct, original 364C slide switch. Photo of the box. Grade 7 original box (tears; creases; some stains; no insert). Another view of the box. The box is very presentable: fairly clean, square and sturdy -- plus there is no un-original tape anywhere! Photo of the bottom of the box. We don't get many Newsstands this nice! It is sharp looking and a great operating accessory with illumination & animation. If you need some action on your layout, this item will provide it! |
| 156 | Station Platform | E+ | Yes | $ 95 | Illuminated Station Platform from 1946-1949 with these ORIGINAL signs: (REMINGTON TYPEWRITERS -- BABY RUTH -- SUNOCO -- RIVAL). Original red roof and green base.
Photo of the other side. Minor paint chips on the roof plus the base has some paint loss around one of the mounting holes and that's about it for flaws on the structure; has reproduction fencing. This station is very clean with nice vibrant paint -- and it does light! Close-up showing one side of all four signs. Minor flaws on the signs! They are all are very clean with nice graphics. Two views of the roof. This very popular, prewar carryover piece is always a nice addition to any layout and many operators have purchased six (6) over the years to try to duplicate the Lionel layout scene in New York in the late 40's. |
| 175-200 | Control Panel | E++ | Yes | $ 85 | Illuminated, multi-function controller that originally came with a 175 rocket launcher; it is used for the movement of the gantry, the countdown and the firing of the rocket. This item is often missing from the accessory or not working properly.
Close-up of the "WARNING" light display. Minimal flaws! It is complete, all intact and clean overall with nice lettering -- plus it was serviced by us and it lights and works perfectly! Photo of the back. Since it has all of the features as the 413 Countdown Control Panel (plus more), it can also be used to operate other space and military items remotely! Photo of the bottom. Nicest 175-200 Control Panel we have ever had; it is also an item that we have not had for sale in over five years! |
| 310 | Complete 1954 Billboard Sheet |
VG | Yes | $ 45 | A complete 1954 uncut sheet of 8 card-stock billboards. This assortment of original billboards has three automobile-related ads plus three food-related ads and two home-related ads: (BRECK SHAMPOOS -- CAMPBELL'S SOUPS -- DuPONT ANTI-FREEZE -- FRAM OIL FILTERS -- LIPTON ICED TEA -- NEW DEPARTURE Safety Brakes -- SUNOCO MOTOR OIL -- WRIGLEY'S).
Close-up of the top four billboards. Some moisture stains and creases. However the creases should improve over time with proper storage including the use of heavy objects to maintain an equal distribution of weight on top. Close-up of the bottom four billboards. Uncut sheets from any year are very hard to find! This is the first 1954 uncut set that we have ever offered for sale! If you have a boxed 1954 Lionel train set, it is not complete without this billboard sheet! |
| 352 | Ice Depot Set | Depot: E+ Car: E++ Set: OB |
Yes | $295 | A sharp operating Ice Depot Set from 1955: includes the 6352-1 Union Pacific Ice Car (version with four lines of rubber-stamped data on the ice compartment door).
Photo of the Station. Also called the "Icing Station" -- this one has the red base and it measures 11 3/4 inches long by 4 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches high. Photo of the other side of the station. Minor discoloration on the white sides of the building and that's about it for flaws! The unit is very clean and nothing is cracked or missing! The rust-free metal frame is nice as well. Has the original man & paddle. An "aerial" view of the station. Photo of the unloading side of the car. The special orange "PACIFIC FRUIT EXPRESS" reefer has black heat-stamped lettering on the body plus metal, bar-end trucks with magnetic couplers. Photo of the loading side of the car. Minor rust spots on the metal door guides and that's about it for flaws! The car is completely intact and very, very clean with very strong lettering! An "aerial" view of the car. Photo of the box. Grade 7+ original box (tears; creases; stains; "aged" look). Another view of the box. Has the elaborate insert and this box is solid: fairly clean, complete, square and sturdy! Photo of the bottom of the box. Has the original instruction sheet #352-44, dated 10/55 (tears, creases, tape), the 5 original ice cubes and the correct 90C controller. Photo of the instruction sheet, ice cubes and controller. One of Lionel's most reliable and smooth-working accessories; this one works great, looks great and certainly lives up to its reputation as being a "cool" accessory! Our Archives Page has more information on 352 Ice Depots. |
| 410 | Billboard Blinker | E++/OB | Yes | $ 55 | A blinking lamp metal fixture from 1956-58: the 410 was made to work with a 310 billboard (which was sold separately). It has a bi-metallic strip which can be adjusted to either have the light glow continuously or to flash intermittently at various rates.
Photo of the front of the fixture. Includes a FREE "NAVY" billboard ad from 1958 with frame for your layout! (Lionel sold the billboards & frames separately.) Photo showing the fixture attached to a 310 frame with a billboard advertising the U.S. "NAVY." A few minor rust spots and that's it for flaws! The unit is very, very clean plus it lights and works perfectly! Photo of the back of the fixture. Photo of the box. Grade 6 original box (tears; creases; dent; writing). Some flaws but the box is clean, complete & sturdy. Another view of the box. The 410 is a very handy and worry-free layout item! |
| 419 | Heliport | E+/OB | Yes | $625 ON HOLD |
One of the most desirable accessories from the "Space and Military" series -- the Heliport Control Tower from 1962 only!
Photo of one side and the front of the tower. The structure has a red elevated control room with white lettering and clear, plastic windows plus a gray roof and a buff-colored base. This impressive-looking accessory measures 11 inches long by 5 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches high -- plus another 2 3/4 inches for the antenna. Photo of the other side and the back of the tower. Has the original (dark yellow) antenna stand, antennas and horns and the original helicopter tail support. Photo of the roof of the tower. Minimal flaws on the structure! It is very clean and all intact! Has very nice, clean, white lettering on the tower plus the launching mechanism works perfectly! Photo of the bottom of the base. Includes the correct-style, ORIGINAL helicopter (yellow with single small blade). Photo of the helicopter. The helicopter's windshield is yellowed with age, the body has some discoloration and the tail is mildly distorted. It is clean and complete plus there are no cracks! Another view of the helicopter. It is the correct helicopter for the Heliport and the tail has the "BLT by LIONEL" stamping. Close-up of the helicopter's tail and lettering. Photo of the box. Grade 6 original box (distorted in places from exposure to moisture; one bottom corner is partially crushed; some dirt; creases; scuffs; "period" price stamping; no insert). Another view of the box. Has flaws but the box is fairly clean, square and sturdy -- plus there is no tape anywhere! It will protect the accessory in shipping and in storage. Photo of the bottom of the box. This orange corrugated box was made by the Mead Corporation and it is not an easy one to find! Only the third 419 Heliport we have ever had for sale -- and the last one was over ten years ago!!! |
| 3366-100 | Box of Horses | E++/OB | Yes | $ 55 | Here's an item that does not come up for sale very often: a set of nine (9) good-looking, WHITE horses for the 3366 Circus Car and Circus Corral in a grade 6+ original box (missing one inner flap; tears; creases).
Another view of the box. Eight of the horses are ORIGINAL and one is a reproduction item. Only the second time we have ever had this item available for separate sale; white horses are fairly scarce (as is the box). |
