Lionel Trains 1988 1 year only Reissue of the Famous Hiawatha Passenger from the 1930's. Exact replica of the 1930's version..same construction techniques but better newer technology . Heavy Diecast metal Engine, 4 sheet metal cars, 3 color enameled paint (orange, grey, maroon), air motor driven whistle in the tender, lighted pasenger cars, This one has perfect paint- some of the earlier production units had paint flaws- runs and fingerprints on the cars. The background items are not included in this sale.

This one is pristine!. Purchased new in SLC. I am the original owner. Has run a couple of laps around the Christmas tree and then put away in storage since 1988 in smoke free, climate controlled storage. Original box factory packaging is also very nice...

Drop dead georgeous train.... If you were a rich kid in the 1930's maybe you were lucky enough to get one of these..which made them very rare to begin with. It is a very unique train from the get go. It is all metal construction- no plastic period!. Injection molded plastic wasn't around in the 30's....This train oozes toy train charm at it's best! Would look great just to display or run..

I am reluctant to sell it- it was very hard to obtain the first place- money was tight and I had a family to take care of. I am an old timer and a superfuss about what I have chosen to acquire over the last 53 years of collecting... but the time has come to do it.

If you snooze, you loose. They just don't come up for sale in Utah ever..

So- cash at time of delivery in SLC. If going out of town payment via Pay Pal for shipping plus the item is required.(It is heavy and a big oversize box so that would not be cheap).

Message me for an appoinment and we'll coordinate on a time.

Thanks for looking.
