No. 409E- TWO MOTOR 408E DE-LUXE SPECIAL 4 CAR PASSENGER SET
| Set is 2-tone brownThe following is quote from the original Lionel Catalog entry for this set: "Train Outfit No. 409E is in every respect a De-Luxe Model Express Train. It is a delight to behold, and operates as smoothly as though the wheels were equipped with rubber tires. Even the most superlative terms of description would not be as convincing as seeing the outfit in operation. No. 408E Twin Motor Locomotive is 17 inches long, 8 1/2 inches high to the top of the pantagraph. Complete with lamps for headlights and front lanterns. The Pullman coaches are in every detail similar to the most modern Passenger Cars and are illuminated. The interior light shining through the colored glass windows produces a very realistic effect" Set contains: 1- 408E Locomotive; 1- 418 Pullman Car: 1- 419 Pullman and baggage car: 1- 490 observation car: 1- 431 dining car. (end of quote)All cars have swiveling passenger seats and cars and loco are 2 tone brown |
