The first set I am offering for sale is the #4607A Pennsylvania Freight Set made in 1948 which I got from its original owner. The engine and cars have their original gold weight link couplers which work well. It includes the original boxes for everything, but only one end of the set box. There are four extra straight tracks, four half straight tracks, and a second track terminal that weren't in the original set. Three track locks are missing and the transformer needs a new cord. Book value adjusted for condition is $270.00.(SD/DM)

The engine in that set is a nice #312 Pacific in TCA C-6/C-7 condition. It runs well, forward and reverse, and reverses more reliably than most. The headlight socket is damaged so you can't insert a bulb.

The second set is a Frontiersman set similar to those sold in 1960, but it is missing the #20 coach car. The engine is in TCA C-6/C-7 condition and runs well, forward and reverse. The reverse unit is a little sticky. The car bodies are very clean, similarly in C-6/C-7 condition, but there are rust spots on the tension bars and the couplers operate stiffly. The set contains eight straight tracks; the Gilbert sets contained none. Book value adjusted for condition is $154.00 (SDSG).

The third is a great starter set I made up myself; it is not a set sold by Gilbert. All cars have their original link couplers and no broken steps. The set has a loop track with 12 curves and 6 straights, a good size to go around a six-foot Christmas Tree. Book value adjusted for condition is $141.80 (MY,CU,&SD/JW)

It features a #282 Pacific 4-6-2 locomotive in TCA C-6/C-7 condition. It runs well, forward and reverse, and smokes well. The reverse unit is a little sticky.

And a late model 100Watt 8B transformer with reversing button and brand new cord.
