What a wonderful train. It's perfect and being the first set after that tragic war makes it even more special. Indeed in '45, the Lionel asserted itself as king......and that's from a American Flywe fan!
It is a great set Al. Really great condition for its age. So many items that I have bought or have been given are without boxes. I really believe most people threw them out early on. 99% of the items, I got from my dad, are in their original boxes. Thanks for sharing.
I've got the brown 2457 caboose with whirly wheels in my set. Haven't had any problems with 022 switches ripping off the flying shoes, but the RCS/UCS tracks will rip them off and break the fiber boards if they are just a little bit crooked.
Thanks for sharing your video of this beautiful set Al.😊

Thanks, glad you enjoyed seeing this one. That is great that yours still have the boxes.
Al, another great video please keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
What a beautiful set Al, I have that exact reprinted catalog. Great video!😊
Thanks!
Always enjoy your videos Al!
I appreciate that!
Very cool set, and it's definitely an interesting note in lionel history
You have some good ones. The flying shoes, I call them sliders, I have a 221 that has them.
Awesome set! 💯

nice🎉🎉
Cool 😊
That 224 has too many pieces to dismantle. My Dad`s is too precious to screw up. What`s the differences between pre-war and post?
This video link is for you in regards to the differences of the 224 locomotives.
