id my old lionel

[Anonymous]

An easy one for all you pros. I called home and got some identifying numbers off of my old toy train. I suspect it is from around 1962. Anyways, the two locomotives have side numbers of 1110 and 660. There is a red Caboose (sp) with words Lionel Lines on the side with the number 1007. Also has a Santa Fe freight car with the number 13975. Appreciate it if you guys can id my train for me. Thanks

Your local library might have a book that will help (Usually Greenburg's Guide to ...) Checkout call number 629.

The 1110 is a 2-4-2 Scout steamer, cataloged in 1949, -51, and -52. Scout steamers were inexpensive locos included in starter sets. The 2005 Greenberg price guide values it at $11 in good condition and $27 in excellent condition.

The 1007 caboose was cataloged from 1948-1952. It was included in the 1110 Scout starter sets. Values are $7 (good) and $10 (exc.).

I couldn't find listings for the 660 or the 13975. Can you provide more details?

Thanks for the info. I am surprised that they are 1950's vintage. I am positive my father bought it for me in 1961 or 1962 and remember it being a new set, but who knows, maybe not. I don' t have anymore details till i get the set back with me physically. Thanks
