A REAL BEAUTY!
You are looking at a super Lionel Classics release from way back in 1990--that's right, 35 years ago! Before there was Tinplate Traditions or Lionel Corporation Tinplate...there was LIONEL CLASSICS.
This one is the best of both worlds--the exact look of the classic Lionel prewar series O gauge with the brand new parts and shine of a new item.
It is a STANDARD GAUGE remake of the old classic Lionel Fireball Express Steam Passenger set. It is a stunning passenger set featuring

CONDITION: C-7++. Serviced and tested. Runs, lights, reverses. Whistle in tender works. Really looks like new, but there ARE paint nicks here and there and some light oxidation to some of the trim to keep it out of like new. There is some kind of residue (perhaps touch up?) near a stanchion or two. The tender has small paint nicks and rubs. The cars have some rubs and small paint nicks, a few hard to see scratches, and light number stamp wear wear. Everything really looks great. All is pictured. There are no flags with it.
