2111WS FOUR CAR FREIGHT SET WITH RARE GREY CAB CRANE, SILVER BIN COAL DUMP CAR AND SEARCHLIGHT CABOOSE
 |
| The family that bought this set really lucked out by getting the rare versions of the crane and ore carsJust a few of these sets were shipped with the most desirable cars from 1946 - the 3459 ore car with unpainted aluminum bin (instead of the regular black bin) and the rare 2460 six wheel crane with a glossy grey painted cab instead of a black cabOf importance is the lettering on the grey painted crane cab which is heat-stamped, authenticating it as originalThe 2420 work caboose with searchlight is also very difficult to find, selling in the $275-$325 range these daysGraded Like New, this 1946 set has the rare original and spectacular 1946 version of the 671 turbine loco without an E-unit lever sticking through the top of the loco The E-unit (reversing unit) is controlled by jacks in the locomotive cabThe boiler front does not have any of three versions of the keystone - they just sometimes missed applying the decalsEverything is Like New except for some traces of rust on the metal pipes on the flat car and small scratches on the roof of the crane. These did not stop us from grading the set Like New to describe this overall outstanding setNote that all cars have correct coil couplersAll boxes are reproductions except for the original ore car box which has no end flaps as shownComes with original instruction sheets for the loco and dump car as well as the 1946 set instruction book. |
