What does this mean?

Based on the photographs and information provided, the subject of this appraisal is a post-war period (1945 to 1969) O-Gauge Lionel Train set. The Locomotive's production years spanned from 1948 to 1953, but the pairing with this particular tender (coal car) indicates this was late in the production of the locomotive and thus likely circa 1951 to 1953. The condition based on photographs is good used condition, with minor scratches and paint nicks noted, but no dents or missing parts noted on the pieces examined, although there is a fair amount of dirt and dust on the cars, transformer and track and some light rust on the locomotive. The pieces included in the set and their corresponding Fair Market Values are as follows:

- one #2026 2-6-4 Locomotive and 6066T tender (coal car) with Lionel Lines lettering: $34 to $40
- one #X6014 Baby Ruth PPR boxcar in white: $5
- one #6012 gondola, black: $2
- one #6017 red caboose: $4
- one #1034 75-watt transformer: $8
- one #1043 50-watt transformer: $5
- assorted track, $1 per piece for a total of $26

The collection also includes a Marx 423 Electric Automatic Twin Light Flasher Crossing Signal valued at approximately $5.

Combined Fair Market Value of this set falls in a range of $89 to $95.
