To see MORE photographs before offerding click hereWhen you think of Lionel Standard Gauge Trains - this is the set that comes to mind. This is the rare \"Blue Comet\" Set No. 396E, the earliest version from 1930. It consists of the famed 390E cream striped Steam Locomotive, with its 390T Tender. The set pulls (3) Lionel standard gauge passenger cars - the No. 420 Pullman \"Faye\", the No. 421 Pullman \"Westphal\", and the No. 422 Observation \"Tempel\". Overall, this set is in very good condition. I took a lot of pictures - as you can see below (and by clicking the link above to view ALL the pictures) - so you will be able to judge the condition of this classic Lionel Set. The engine has its typical small warp to the frame - but no breaks or cracks. A small bend in the cab roof. Paint wear as pictured. Also, it is missing one stanchion on one side, and most of the others are loose or coming out.The engine has been rewheeled, and when I put it on a piece of test track it ran in forward and reverse. However, I did notice that it hesitated and caught up. I believe the wheels will need to be adjusted. The Tender also has a lot of wear to the paint as pictured below. All original with number stamped on the bottom, and original paper label. The passenger cars all show some wear - but overall look like nice cars with all original paint and interior and exterior fittings. No touch-ups that I see. The 420 Faye is the nicest of the three. The 421 and 422 show some significant wear on the roofs. Sides look good, with only minor wear. Bottoms look clean, interiors need some cleaning. Again, take a look at the pictures as they show the condition of this set well, and please ask any questions if something is not apparent. This is a set for the collector of rare Lionel trains.
