2219W (1954) included -
2321 E-L FM (maroon roof)
6415 Sunoco tank car
6462 NYC gondola (green)
6464-50 Minneapolis & St. Louis boxcar

There is no mention of a 1956 set including the 2321. Sets in 1956 that had an FM were Set 2261W (2231 Virginian) and Set 2270W (2341 Jersey Central). Neither included a 6517 caboose.

Does anyone of the 1956 roling stock consist? I have a nice 6517 caboose that came with it along with and 3562 operatng gondola(yellow) and a 6520 search light car. Any of these items come in a set originaly. All items have boxes and belong to original owner- not going to tell how much I paid:) Thanks for the help!

My Power Giant set is as above but has a red gondola, and Pennsy roadname caboose. I have now enjoyed it for 45 years and counting up every Christmas. I trust that you will enjoy it at least as long.

Just purchased an amazing all original ex condition 2321 Lackawanna Fm - but since I'm a young guy(24) who has never seen a set with rolling stock. I was wondering if anyone knew of the rolling stock that came in the sets in 54, 55, and 56. I know the 6417-50 was probably the caboose but have a ln 6517 from 55 + and I'm hoping that was part of one of the 55 or 56 sets. Thanks guys!
