Need Help With Vintage Set

I'm not sure what you're asking. You say that you already know what the contents of the set should be, so exactly what is it that you want to know??

Just in case I am misunderstanding your question, here's what I know about that set. It was made for Sears in 1957. The set contained a 611 Jersey Central Diesel Switcher, 6464-225 New Haven box car, 6262 flat car with wheels,6646 stock car, 6112 gondola with canisters, 6121 flat car with pipes, 6014/6024 box car, 6017 Caboose, 8 curved, 3 straight, 6029 uncoupling track, and 1015 transformer. The small 6014 box car could have been a Bosco or a Frisco, or it could have been a 6024 Shredded Wheat. All of the cars in the  set were probably in their own individual boxes.

Lionel packaged some sets in this period with some components boxed and others not boxed. I've only found one photo of this set and it shows two cars boxed. What else may have been boxed?

Gandy,

According to the GB Vol. 4 Uncatalogued Sets book, this set "Most (possibly all) items were component boxed and came in a common basket weave carton."

Hope this helps

Regards,

Randall

Greenburg's book just states that all of the components of the set may have been boxed. Unless somebody actually has that set in their collection, we may never know for sure.

Ok Thanks. I'll play it safe and look for boxed components.
