Vintage, LIONEL The Ornament Express Train Set, 8-81017, Original Box, TESTED. Impress Santa and really scale up your Christmas decorating with this ornate train set. Large scale electric train set suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Big, easy to handle, complete and ready to run for years to come. Complete layout with 12 pieces of track to form a 4.3 foot circle. DC controller, UL approved provides the power to the Unique Posi-Lock track system for a weatherproof track construction. CABOOSE: Operating couplers, period styling with alot of detail. Stove pipe is off of the roof – not broken – just not installed – I’ll leave that for the new owner. I didn’t want to put it in and have it susceptible to being broken. WOOD GONDOLA: Highly detailed with period styling. Brake wheel and cargo. 3 satin ornaments sitting in their own little cradle. LOCOMOTIVE: Tested, ran smooth and quiet. I really think this set may have only been used once or twice. Nicely decorated steam locomotive even the interior shows some detail. Moves forward and reverse. Has an operating headlight. With all the good, this is where I found the only flaw. Right above the cow-catcher there should be a gold colored peg on each side – the left one is missing (see photo). I don’t know if this is something that can be acquired or not. Just remove the other, no-one would know. Stick a flag there or a wreath maybe.
