Postwar 41 Army Switcher?

According to the Authoritative Guide To Lionel's Promotional Outfits 1960 - 1969, by John W. Schmid, no promotional outfits were offered with a # 41.

The 41 was made 1955 thru 1957 so was it offered at that time in any uncatalogued set? 

Frank....don't recall ever seeing a 41 offered in a set...I  could be wrong.....joe

I have two different 41's One that is a shiny black Plastic and one that is painted black a dull color black.

There is no documented sets with this engine. The only thing that even comes close to that time period is a uncatalogued 520 electric set with a Chun King 6014 boxcar.  Using motorized units as a locomotive didn't happen until the early 1960's.

The smaller motorized units were always separate sale items.

Separate sale only, no sets.

Thanks Everyone! Its always fun to run these growlers.

Not entirely true, at least according to John Schmidt's book. He has documented several uncataloged sets where the # 59 Air Force switcher was the locomotive in the set.
