Lionel 818 Accessory Set
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 20, 2001 6:09 PM
I recently acquired this set which consists of the 812, 814, 816,and 817 cars in the original set box. I am trying to learn more about the set. I know it is from 1927. I would appreciate any additional information.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,

I don't know much about the 818 set. But I have a copy of the 1930 Lionel catalog and the 818 set is still available. The following is the description of the set in the 1930 catalog:

No. 818 Freight Car Set--Comprises 1 each Nos.812 Gondola Car, 814 Box Car, 816 Coal Car, 817 Caboose, described on this page. Very attactively packed.
Code Word "QUEST." Price, $9.00

All Lionel Freight Cars are equipped with automatic couplers, nickle journals and wheels, brass hand rails, steps, and brake wheels.

Regards,

Tim P.
