Questions about 2 Postwar Sets
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, September 9, 2005 4:00 PM

I have some questions about two Postwar Sets

1. The 1959 Baltimore and Ohio Set with the 247 steam locomtive with a Blue Stripe along th side of the locomotive and the Tender.

I saw the locomotive and loved it. I'd like to buy the locomotive and piece togather a set but what came in it. I'd like to know so if there isn't anyhing interesting in the set then I'll just buy the locomotive

2. The 1956 and/or 1957 Allred Lehigh Valley Center Cab Diesel. My grandfather has that set and lost of other freight crs, so he can't remember what cars came in the set. What Cars came in it?

Thanks

Hello Steelrails! East Coast Train Parts in New Jersey has the #247 Engine & Tender mint in the box for $ 200.00 Just type in their name on your computer address box and their website will come up.Plus, maybe they can help you find the cars for your Grandfather's other Train. Good Luck.

Your Lehigh Valley set was likely from 1956 (set #1543 /700). Contained 627 LV Center Cab, 6121 flatcar with pipes, 6112 black gondola with canisters, 6017 SP-type caboose. The set (complete wth track and transformer) retailed for $25 back then.
