| ANOTHER RAILROAD THAT NO LONGER EXISTS IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM IS THE "WABASH." NAMED FOR THE FAMOUS INDIANNA RIVER, THE WABASH RAILROAD DID EXIST DURING THE 1950'S WHEN LIONEL PRODUCED THESE REMARKABLE F-3 DIESELS. COLLECTING TIP; IN ORDER FOR A COLLECTIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED ORIGINAL (VERSUS A REPRODUCTION) IT MUST HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED CONCURRENT TO THE HISTORICAL EVENT. THE WABASH RR NO LONGER EXISTS, THEREFORE, TOY TRAINS MADE TODAY WITH WABASH MARKINGS MUST BE CLASSIFIED AS "REPRODUCTIONS." OPINION: ORIGINAL ITEMS MAKE A BETTER INVESTMENT THAN REPRODUCTIONS. |
| THE 2367 WABASH AB AND THE 2240 WABASH AB SETS ARE ESSENTIALLY IDENTICAL EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE 2240 HAS ONE MOTOR, AND THE 2367 HAS TWO MOTORS. |
| BOTH UNITS FEATURE BRIGHT GRAPHICS, EXCELLENT PULLING POWER, RELIABLE AC POWER PLANTS, HEADLIGHT, AND MAGNE-TRACTION. THE YEAR OF MANUFACTURE WAS 1955. |
