Description
The locomotive engine appears to be an original 1938. The tenders: 1 has the Lionel copper plate, the other with a tin plate with an auto coupler. Originally offered in Standard Gauge in 1930's, this railfans' favorite has been associated with Lionel trains for over 88 years. Said to have been one of Joshua Lionel Cowen’s favorite trains to ride between Jersey City and Atlantic City. This train set is the Famous Lionel Blue Comet set. The original Blue Comet engine locomotive was made between 1936 and 1939 and Lionel re-released it in 1988 but we have what appears to be a 1938 engine. The cars are a mixed breed with 3 repaints and 1 reproduction. This is a tin-plate set there is no plastic in it, ALL METAL!!! It is in good condition with a few small scratches and some minor rust. Comes with 1 engine, 2 coal cars and 5 Pullman cars. The 2615 appears to have been a 615 that was refurbished.
