Tommy Sage Jr.'s December Auction Train Review
 
The December 2009 auction will feature a several consignor train collection with a vast number of trains coming straight from the original owners and major collections. The train lots include Lionel Post and Pre-war, American Flyer Pre-war and S-Gauge, Ives Standard and O-Gauge, Voltamp, Beggs Live Steam and many others.
 
In the Golden Lionel Standard Gauge section there is a Stephen Girard Passenger set in the Set Box (lot 3179), and an orange No. 9 Passenger Set (lot 3180). Very early Lionel in this sale includes a No. 53 Passenger Set (lot 3181), a Thin Rim No. 6 Passenger Set with knobby roofs (lot 3182), plus a Lionel No. 110 Trolley in its original box (lot 3183). There is also a Voltamp United Electric Trolley in its original wooden box (lot 3186), which is sure to grab attention. You will also see some early German trains including two stations (lot 3199 &  lot 3200) and a nice set of 3 Marklin Guage-1 Rheinuferbahn Cars (lot 3201). Don’t miss the nice American Flyer boxed Circus Set S-Gauge (lot 3096). There is also a rare Lionel Sears Military Set (lot 3083), a boxed Lionel Lackawanna Freight Set (lot 3085) and a mint Lionel Budd RDC Passenger Set in the set box (lot 3086). If you are looking for a great Ives set, the sale highlight is an Ives O-Gauge 1694 Passenger Set in the original set box, which is one of only a few known in the set box.  
 
“Personally I think the Boxed No. 110 (lot 3183) is a interesting piece because it has the original box, track and packing straw and this is something you never see.” Check out the December online catalog for more details.
