Can you identify this prewar set? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

GeoPegOGR Forum Member

This belongs to my cousin and I would like to know what set this is, including engine number. He just got through stashing it all away for another few years, but at least I got a crappy, dark, low resolution picture from him. This was his dad's set (dad born mid 20s) and has seen many Christmas' circling the family tree.

Thanks,

George

Engine is a 259 (not an E). Red pilot wheels are the clue. 1933. 809 dump car and 807 caboose.

looks like Chuck nailed it. With proper maintenance it should go for another 80 years or so
