2296W (828) CANADIAN PACIFIC F3 PASSENGER SET (1957)
 |
| The Canadian Pacific passenger set is one of the most sought after and valuable of all Lionel setsThis set is graded Like New with very little run timeIt is especially noteworthy because we cannot find any scratches on any of the aluminum cars (Most aluminum passenger cars left the factory with one or more scratches because of how they were handled at the factory)Authenticity is assured with all four passenger cars having metal maroon stripes instead of reproduction paper stripesThe bit of spilled glue om one end of the CP stripe on one car (pictured) is also assurance of factory workmanship; note thet car is missing a 1 inch section of the scyline 500 stripeThe locos are perfect with no excusesThe yellow stripe across the roof of both the powered and non-powered A units is heat-stamped (you can feel the depression), again assuring authenticity compared to fakes with silk-screened lines with no depressionLettering and stripes on the sides are also heat-stamped as only appears on originalsThere is hardly anything more elegant than this set running with the passenger car lights on and the maroon stripes matching the maroon roof of the locosLoco boxes are reproductions, as is the observation car boxWe have included two sheets of original Lionel paper for the locos and a sheet with eight Lionel billboard insertsNote that Doyle's current reference guide book value for this set is $10,000 with a rarity of 7 on a scale of 1 to 8! |
