Description

Lionel #350, Engine Transfer Table w/ original box, ca. 1957
This table is in very good, lightly-used condition. Only thing missing is the red plastic cover for lighted button on the control, although as you can see the other three yellow buttons are fine. It was purchased new at Madison Hardware, a famous train shop in NYC, and was rarely used. It includes all the wires and extra parts as well as the four-page instruction booklet. Extension tables are available (ours were already sold) that can make it the center of a truly dynamic layout. The small yellow house-like part covers the motors.
The box is original and shows little wear and tear; unfortunately, as seen in the last illustration, it was cut at some point and one of the shorter inner flaps is missing and the label damaged. Still fine for storage, and the other side is completely intact.
This is from my father's collection. A lifelong inhabitant of New York City and an avid Lionel collector since childhood, he kept his collection in excellent shape, in custom-built storage cases and in the original packaging as often as possible. Of course, there is some normal wear and tear but if a piece or its packaging has any damage beyond that, I will include it in the description and/or pictures.
Our family has selected our favorite pieces and would like to see that the rest go to people or places that will also appreciate them. We have many pieces of Lionel rolling stock, buildings, and equipment as well as various books and ephemera from a happy long life as a railfan.
There are hundreds of pieces and it will take several months to list them all, so keep an eye on my account to see if a piece you'd like is listed. We have items from the 1930s to the early 2000s. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I will be happy to combine items to reduce shipping costs if you buy more than one item. Please don't pay until you've bought all the items you'd like to be sent at once so I can combine the invoice and calculate the shipping.
