Reply to "Weekend Tinplate photos 📸 and videos 📽 1/9/20!"

OK after lots of posts on foreign trains thought I would finish out Sunday with this picture of a Lionel uncatalogued set from 1938-1939.  Contains 1717 litho Gondola, 1719 litho Box, and 1722 litho Caboose.  The engine is a Gunmetal Grey, 249E which was the object of about a 2 year search and final purchase by mail from another TCA member. I can't say they are "rare" but they are hard to find.  These were the "Ives transition cars" although they were designed by Lionel and my cars are marked as Lionel (although there is at least one year they were also marked as Ives - same car with just the Ives name in the same place as Lionel).
