LIONEL FIVE STAR GENERAL SET FROM  1961

\\      

DESCRIPTION:   IN 1862, UNION SABOTEURS TOOK OVER "THE GENERAL" A  TRANSPORT TRAIN IN MARIETTA GEORGIA, AND DID A LOT OF DAMAGE TO CONFEDERATE INSTALLATIONS ALONG THE RIGHT  OF WAY. THEY WERE CAUGHT AND HANGED FOR BEING SPIES (THEY WERE). THEIR BRAVERY AND DARING, HOWEVER,  CAUGHT THE IMAGINATION OF THE NATION AND THIS WAS THE IMPETUS FOR CREATING THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR. THEY WERE THE FIRST RECIPIENTS OF THIS HONOR POSTHUMOUSLY. . THIS GREAT TRAIN CAPTURES THE EXCITEMENT OF THE ERA AND IS BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED AND PAINTED. IT IS A TREASURE FOR THE AGES!  MY FATHER BROUGHT HOME  ONE OF THESE SETS FOR ME AS A CHILD AND I STILL REMEMBER THAT AS THE BEST MEMORY OF MY EARLY LIFE! THE SET FEATURES A BRIGHT HEADLIGHT, SMOKE, MAGE TRACTION, LIGHT CARS, AND OPERATING WHISTLE. ONE OF LIONEL'S LAST GREAT LOCOMOTIVE DESIGNS. IT HAS BEEN REISSUED COUNTLESS TIMES, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY ONE YOU REALLY SHOULD WANT!

THE  SET SHOWN IS  LIKE NEW IN ORIGINAL SET BOX.  USED ONLY SLIGHTLY. IT IS FREE OF DEFECTS AND SCRATCHES, COMPLETE, ORIGINAL, AND FABULOUS. THERE IS ALSO A FREE BONUS 3370 SHERIFF AND OUTLAW CAR IN THIS OFFERING.
