| First introduced in 1950 at $57.50, this set was repeated in 1951 at an increased price of $70. The #2343 with Magnetraction was the successor to the #2333. Lionel decided to give both the Santa Fe and New York Central F3's their own stock numbers - #2343 and #2344 respectively. The porthole lenses for these diesels were also revised by making them flatter and celluloid-type - resembling contact lenses. All rolling stock was "run-of-the-mill". The outfit box was the new 1950-style without the printed retail price (orange printed field with blue letters). 1951 had the same style set box without the orange background field. The operating box car #3464 appears with either Santa Fe or NYC markings. The powered unit was packed in a corrugate carton with a protective corrugated liner. The dummy unit, however, came in a Middle Classic box - as did all the rolling stock but it did have a corrugated liner. SET INCLUDES: #2343P Santa Fe F3 A unit (dual motors, Magnetraction, headlights, operating front coupler), #2343T Santa Fe F3 dummy A unit (headlight, operating front coupler), #6456 maroon or black Lehigh Valley hopper, #3464 AT&SF or NYC operating box car, #6555 Sunoco single dome tanker in 1950 or a #6465 Sunoco two-dome tank car in 1951 (usually found in the rarer, over-stamped 6555 box), #6462 black gondola with barrels, and a #6457 |
