You are looking at a beautiful Unique Arts steam engine freight set that includes one of the highly sought after JEWEL T Circus animal cage cars. This animal cage car is one of the most highly sought after sets by tinplate collectors.
The set runs on three rail O gauge trains just like your Marx or Lionel. It runs on AC power, just like the traditional O.
The Set Comes with:
ENGINE 1950
This is the electric version, not the wind up.
The engine tested good--it runs. It has that old electronics smell, so it has not been run in a long time. We always suggest lubricating before extensive running of these collector engines that have been sitting.
Cosmetically, it has significant scratches and oxidation.
THE TENDER
Complete.
Cosmetically, it has significant scratches and oxidation.

BOXCAR, UNIQUE LINES, SILVER

CABOOSE
Some scratches here and there.
GENERAL CONDITION: C-5+. Some may be more C-6-ish, but mostly these pieces are good, C-5+. Engine tested and runs, though it could use lubrication before extensive running. Most pieces here have scratches, oxidation, and some surface rust. The gray boxcar needs couplers. Some dents here and there. Look at all pictures up close--they show it all.
