You are looking at a stunning four car Standard Gauge passenger set known as the Transcontinental Express. This is known as a "State Set" by collectors. This one is a beautiful two tone green with brass detail.
Lionel issued the items separately. They did not come s a set. The engine was only offered in a flyer between catalogs. Here you have a chance to buy them all at once--even the add on car whic was listed in the 1989 Stocking Stuffers flyer only.
The Illinois add on car came with weights if you wanted to use them. Perhaps these were included to add more weight for traction when adding this fourth car.

- 6-13102 1-318E engine

Series: Lionel Classics
CONDITION: C-8, perhaps better! I would put it between C-8 and C-9--better than like new. Engine tested and runs. Tiny black mark on one end of engine; miniscule oxidation on rails; very minimal run time--rollers look new. Cars look great. No signs of use. Colorado has very minor oxidation nameplate. Overall, unbelievable patina--gorgeous. Pictures show it all.
BOXES are P-5 and P-6 with some creases, rubs and minor tear. Pictures are part of the description.
