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 remake of the old classic Lionel O Gauge Fireball Express Steam Passenger set. It is a stunning passenger set featuring

CONDITION: C-8. Tested and works. Tender whistle works. Appears to be like new to new in manufacturer packaging. Everything looks great. There is some hard to see light texturing in the paint in a spot by the nameplate on one tender side, pictured. We had to angle it under a lamp to see. This is common for the 1990s era paint on the tinplate. Box is P-6 with some rubs, creasing and some liquid or water stains on the back. With original outer shipper carton as well!
