Lionel Standard Gauge set #33

33 was the number of a Lionel locomotive.  The number 34 set included the 33 loco with a #35 coach and #36 observation.

If the label on the box says "Outfit #33" it contained ONLY a #33 locomotive and eight sections of Lionel curved track. No cars were packaged with this Outfit.

Thanks Hojack and Ron. Here are images of the box. I believe it is the "Outfit #33" which Ron was talking about.

Ron, is this the one to which you were referring?

That's the one. All one got was the loco and a circle of track, so it'll be fairly easy to complete THIS "Outfit".

Thanks Ron

Looking at the labels date the box to the 1920-1928 period. Use that period to find a ca. 1920-23 #33 loco.

ron m,

You are a true gem and a blessing to the, "Tinplate" forum. Seafoid is off to a excellent start collecting early prewar Lionel. Keep up the fantastic job you're doing.

While my days in this wonderful hobby are drawing to a close. I've enjoyed your tidbits of knowledge along my way. For these all I can offer in return is a sincere, "Thank you!".

God's Blessings,

"Pappy"

Here's mine 

I have a couple of #33's that have been restored. I will have to look around for a nice original #33 for the box.
