Standard Gauge Lionel Locomotives and their Companion Passenger Cars

Hi Charlie

In the 1931 catalog Lionel lists outfit number 409E which had a 381E electric type locomotive and three state cars (the state set)

In the 1931 catalog Lionel lists outfit number 368Ewhich has a 390 steam locomotive two 424 illuminated Pullman coaches and a 426 observation car. They call this the Pennsylvania Limited so these would be Stephen Girard cars but they specifically say two 424 Pullmans no mention of car 425

In the 1932 catalog Lionel lists outfit 370E with a 392 steam locomotive 310 baggage car 309 Pullman and 312 observation car.

In the 1932 catalog Lionel lists outfit 372E The Pennsylvania Limited with a 392 steam locomotive and cars 424, 425, 426 the three numbers for the two tone green Stephen Girard cars.

Hope this is helpful

Sincerely

Frank

In addition to Frank's post:

In the 1930 catalog, Lionel sold the blue 390E with the blue comet cars (420 Faye, 421 Westphal, 422 Tempel) as set 396E.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the info.

As it turns out, I do have the Stephen Girard set, but will have to look for a State set for the 381E
