Instead of waiting for weekend photo fund, I thought I would post the pictures of the set here. There are LOTS of pictures.

Bottom of Shipping Carton

 

Open shipping carton from bottom. Note there is NO plastic wrap cut with an X or a C!

 

Shipping carton open from top. Four foam spacers are deep enough to keep set box from moving up and down in the shipping carton

 

End of set box

  

Open set box with paper work on top

 

Powered unit in plain long box at top of picture. Non-powered unit in long orange box at bottom.

 

Box for hopper car

  

Hopper car partially out of box. Notice how tightly it is wrapped

 

The hopper car. Note the road number.

 

The New York Central Gondola with wooden barrels

 

The dummy unit out of the box. Packaged extremely well !!

 

Side view of NYC F-3 non-powered unit. Note the Lionmaster NYC Set box in the background. The locomotive runs like a charm but I haven't had any of the otherpieces out of their boxes yet.  

 

 Top fron of NYC F-3 non-powered unit

 

Two dome tank car 

The A.T. & S.F. operating box car.

 

The unwrapped caboose out of its box and I forgot to take its picture after it was unwrapped.

The plain corrugared box for the NYC F-3 powered unit

Bottom of powerd unit.

 Close up of rear power truck.

Hope everyone enjoys the presentation. I need to clear a track so I can put the set through it's paces. Let me know your thoughts.

I have the old and the new, the set has some color issues but overall its a great remake and the engine runs real good.
