Rare Lionel 4109WS Electronics Freight Train Set 671R 4424W 4454 4452 DAKOTApaul

Here is one you don't see very often. The No. 4109WS Electronics Freight Set that Lionel made in 1946-48. This "O" Gauge Set includes the No. 671R Steam Turbine, the No. 4424W Whistle Tender, the No. 4452 Pennsylvania Gondola, the No. 4454 Baby Ruth Box Car, the No. 5459 Automatic Ore Dump Car, the No. 4457 Illuminated SP Caboose and the ECU Controller. All that is pictured below.

The 4109WS Electronic Control Set was such a revolutionary product that it was featured as the first set in Lionel's 1946 catalog. Uncoupling and unloading features were controlled by receivers mounted on each car, with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). I believe this is a 1947 Set as the Engine has the smoke bulb and it it includes a metal 4457 Caboose. The Engine has the rare red Atomic Engine. Condition of this set is very good - as seen in the pictures. I have not done anything to the set. It is as found. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to test these trains, so we are offering as pictured. Some of the decals are either missing or partial. I do see that one of the catwalks on the Baby Ruth boxcar is broken. Otherwise, I do not see any other breaks or cracks. The set does has some paint wear, but generally looks good. I believe the pictures tell the story, however, please email me with any questions if something is not apparent. A great looking, seldom seen set - don't miss. Buyer pays shipping (Insurance is included in the shipping and handling fees for an estimated final value of $1499). Please check out my other items currently listed, and save on shipping.
