Cat #	Item	Grade	Photo	Price	Description
2350	New Haven EP5 Electric	E+/OB	Yes	| | \ /	A sharp, low-mileage New Haven electric with original nose decals and original pantographs! Version with white "N" over orange "H" on the sides. Photo of the other side. Some chipping and peeling on the decals but they are original and more than 98% intact! The cab is sharp -- clean with crisp lettering and only minor flaws. Photo of both noses. The loco was serviced by us and everything works properly -- including the horn! There is no battery damage and the rust-free chassis is clean inside and out! An "aerial" view. Photo of the box. A gorgeous (grade 9+) original box (minor tears). Photo of the other end of the box. It is unreal: one of the nicest 2350 boxes we have ever seen! Photo of the "data" side of the box. With its colorful (and prototypical) orange, black and white decorating scheme, the New Haven is a good-looking and very photogenic loco. Magnetraction, functional horn and a light on each end -- plus it's a great runner!
3424	Wabash Operating Brakeman Car	VG+/OB	Yes	| | \ /	Light-blue Wabash brakeman car (version with white man): has white doors, white heat-stamped lettering and graphics plus bar-end trucks with tab couplers. Photo of the other side of the car showing the brakeman hitting the deck. A few light scratches and scuffs plus the common roof blemishes caused by the chemical interaction of the rubber figure and the plastic body of the car. These flaws appear as small "melt" marks on the roof. The car is still very presentable as it is clean overall with very strong lettering. An "aerial" view of the roof. Photo of the instruction sheet, envelope, telltales and hardware. Has the "Low Bridge Signal Set" -- two telltales and an original envelope with the correct instruction sheet #3424-95, dated 5/57 (stains) plus the "027" gauge & "O" gauge hardware for the poles. Photo of the component box. Grade 7 original 3424-100 "Low Bridge Signal Set" component box (tears; "period" writing; mildly distorted; "aged" look). A solid box fairly clean, complete & sturdy plus there is no tape anywhere! Another view of the component box. Photo of the outer box. Grade 7 original "outer" box (tears; tape inside; creases; some dirt; no insert). Despite the flaws, this box is still presentable: it is square & fairly sturdy plus it has both end flaps & all six inner flaps. Another view of the outer box. Clever "action" car that will add interest to any layout. It works perfectly!

This low-mileage set was taken care of very well for the last 54 years as all of the pieces are very clean and the overall appearance of the boxes is a sure sign that this set was carefully packed away after each use. We don't get that many boxed sets in during the year and finding a high-quality outfit like this with a strong set box and with all component boxes is very, very unusual! If you like Eastern roadname sets, take a close look at this one!
