What do I have?

The 10E was first introduced in 1926, and came in various colors.  Parts should be available, including wheels, from various Prewar suppliers.  One is a sponsor here, Henning's, and not sure, but he may have wheels available to replace your set.  Post some photos, to know which version 10E you have, plus the cars, and then others can chime in with prices for a valuation.  From a 2007 catalog of Prewar, the Green 10E if in excellent condition would have a value around $300-400.  That is, if it is in excellent, running condition, very good paint, etc..  Prices can be all over the place, all depending on the condition.  Good luck

Here are some pictures of my new collection.  Besides the engine and rolling stock, the collection includes several pieces of std gauge track and two switches.  All the track looks way too rusted / tarnished to use, but it has a great looking natural "rail brown" color and patina. 

Interesting assortment. We're there any accessories?

The only accessories were the track and switches.  From what i can tell, the set is missing a passenger car.  I have the PRO and the observation, but not the Pullman.  The freight cars include a flat, box car, stock car, ventilated box car, gondola, and caboose.  Does anyone know if these would have come in a set, or were they purchased separately?  I assume they are all from the same late 20s time period?

The 10e in Peacock Blue came in Passenger sets and a freight set.

Set # 352E   10E + 332,339,341 Passenger cars    1928-1930

Set # 354E   10E + 511, 512, 513, 514, 510 Freight Cars    1928-1930

There are 2 Macy's Specials...One exactly like set 352E, one like 352E but the loco has a dark green bild-a-loco frame, any they both may have an orange stripe at the bottom of the loco cab. Realistically the set box must be there to prove Macys.

The 10E passenger sets in Peacock had 3 coaches, 332, 329 & 341. Also came as a freight set with 511, 512, 513, 514 & 517.

Ok -.I will chime in.  You have a peacock color #10 and cars.  And a nice classic assortment of 500 series freight cars.

511 flat car - missing it's lumber load

512 gondola

513 cattle car

514R reefer

517 caboose

Pretty sweet.  You need a 514 boxcar, a 515 tank car, a 516 hopper and a 520 floodlight car and you're all set.  And a peacock 339 Pullman car.  Your time period is correct.  Have fun.

Thanks for the replies. It sounds like i have a mixture of two sets, but only one 10E engine.  No idea what happened to the other engine along the way. I may eventually look for a 339 Pullman to round out the passenger set.  In any case, I'm happy to enter the world of tinplate.

eBay has them frequently.  You have a 514 in the background of some pics...it has orange roof.

Here's what you have. Live!

Very Nice!

Looks good!

great looking stuff!

ALso an Ives loco used the Lionel 10/10E as well. Lionel put a small insert over the Lioenl part of the name plate that said Ives (cheap fix) and an Ives plate on the 3rd rail pu. Both an Ives 10 and 10E are available

More trackside action with a 10 behind a 318.  I picked up a couple really nice cars last week.  The brown and yellow 514 and the olive sided 513.  Glad to have them.
