671 lionel set for sale

[Anonymous]

I have what I believe is an "O" gauge Lionel set. Engine is a 671. I believe its over 50 years old. Can anyone tell me the Appox worth of this set? You can see it and all the cars at:

I would like to sell it.
Thanks

Joe,

Based on David Doyle's "Standard Catalog of Lionel Trains, 1945-1969", your set is Lionel #2111WS, offered in 1946. The set included:

671 Steam turbine with 671W tender ($120/$215)
3459 Lionel Lines operating dump car, aluminum (100/295)
2411Lionel Lines flatcar with pipes (50/80)
2460 Bucyrus Erie crane car, gray body (85/180)
2420 DL&W work caboose (50/115)

Prices are from Greenberg's price guide for 2005, and represent valuations for good/excellent condition. It's impossible to tell from pictures, but I'd estimate your pieces are generally in Very Good condition (few scratches; no dents, rust, or warpage; very clean). Exceptions are the dump car (broken) and flat car (missing pipes - the same car with logs is valued at only 16/28).

My listings do not show what else was included in the set. The RW 110W transformer ($38/$65) was offered from 1948-1954, so it does not appear to be part of the original set.

Keep in mind that the set really is worth just what a buyer is willing to pay for it![:)]
