800, 2800 and 8800 Tin series Lionel cars

8800 are indeed Lionel Classics. No O gauge "State" cars were ever made.  There are 2613, 2614, and 2615 painted in State green colors as well as the 2440 series and state greens and postwar 6440 series in state greens.

Rob, I appreciate your response very much.  So, on my shelves, the 800's and 2800's are in the condition of the 8800's (new).  Nice to know that items so old were cared for so carefully.  My State Cars are not green, so I thought I should share them with you because they are probably custom painted.  I presume the car names and numbers were not altered, only the brown and tan.  You know your stuff, thank you for your kind reply.  Chuck

Repaints and re-lettered both.  Good looking custom set.  You are most welcome.

Well Rob, that about settles it.  No more google searches, scanning old and newer Greenberg guides and so on.  They just looked to good to be custom, but I guess the craftsman was just that good.  Thank you very much for your time and expertise.  Chuck242

LOL, Chuck!  Keep googling, you can learn a lot of basic information there.
