2343 Santa Fe question

Yes,look at the 1950 thru 1952 Lionel Catalogs.

Yes, it did!.......Because that's what I received from Santa around 1950!!

But, I'd be pleased to know the set number if anyone can identify it from this list...

2343 ABA

Operating Boxcar

Coal Dump Car

Log Dump Car

Searchlight Car

Caboose

...Talk about 'play value' in a single set!!!!!! 

I still have the set.  It all works.  It's in decent played-with (not abused!) condition.

My cold dead fingers will have to be pried from it to let it go!

Anyone know the set number??

Thx....

how do I do that Mikey?  Can you point me? 

The 2343s were great locos.  I had one many years ago that I sold.  Sorry I did that.

In 1950 Lionel made this.

 In 1951 they made this set.

 In 1952 they made this set.

Jim!!...That's my set!....The 2161W!

Thanks for the information!

I remember receiving the B-unit from Santa in the same year, but I couldn't remember it as a separate present.  The set itself was wrapped in white paper, and red ribbon with a HUGE bow.  It was front-and-center in the morning's haul!  (I also remember my older sister pointing out later that day that the package tag "From Santa" was curiously written in Mom's handwriting!  Now, how did THAT happen?????.......)  And, oh yes, a ZW was part of the largess of that memorable morning!!  It was, indeed, a Christmas morning etched in the cranial matter forever. 

Merry Christmas to y'all!

DKDKRD,

Nothing like reliving some great memories from past Christmas's especially the memories of your toy trains.

Merry Christmas.

I received set # 2175W  "Magnificent Twin Diesel Freights" In 1950!!  Still have it.  Runs like new.  One of my favorites.   We just dated ourselves.  Hahahaha.

Walt,

I hope this helps you.

I'm a little late to the party here, but here are some pics and information from the catalog:

It sure does Jim.  A Sunoco oil tank car load of thanks.

Thanks too to Sean for the pictures which helped me determine that Dad must have bought set 2175W.  We have about 8 extra cars too.
