EXCELLENT CONDITION:
COMPLETE 5 PIECE MODEL TRAIN SET INCLUDING RAIL TRACK, WIND-UP KEY
AND MORE
:
DISNEY 1935 "LIONEL MICKEY MOUSE CIRCUS TRAIN".
THIS SET IS ONE OF THE MOST AGGRESSIVELY SOUGHT-AFTER TOYS BY DISNEYANA COLLECTORS.
WHAT MAKES THE SET EVEN MORE SCARCE IS THE INTEREST IN THE SAME BY TOY TRAIN COLLECTORS AND GENERAL TOY COLLECTORS ALIKE.
THE 5 PIECE TRAIN SET IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINIMAL COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS(MOSTLY SPOTTY PAINT LOSS TO THE LOCOMOTIVE).
THE LOCOMOTIVE HAS A WIND-UP CLOCK-WORK MECHANISM WITH DETACHABLE KEY.
THE CLOCK-WORK MECHANISM AND BELL RINGING FUNCTION ARE IN SOLID WORKING CONDITION.
THREE BEAUTIFULLY LITHOGRAPHED METAL CARS ARE JOINED WITH THE STOKER(COAL CAR)WITH A MECHANICAL FITTED "SHOVELING" MICKEY.
IF THE TRAIN TRACK HAS THE CAPACITY BUILT-IN TO THE SAME THIS ACTION WILL BE REALIZED:
AS THE TRAIN IS MOVING ALONG ON THE TRACK, THE HAND PAINTED COMPOSITION "MICKEY THE STOKER" ACTUALLY MOVES UP-AN-DOWN TO ACTUALLY APPEAR AS SHOVELING COAL. FOR THIS FUNCTION TO WORK PERFECTLY, IT TAKES A SPECIAL VERSION 2 RAIL LIONEL TRACK THAT WAS SOLD SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS SET. THE TRACK VERSION IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND BECAUSE IT IS NOT EASILY RECOGNIZABLE. I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS THIS SPECIAL VERSION TRACK OVER MY 30 YEARS OF COLLECTING AS YET.
THE TRACK THAT I HAVE INCLUDED DOES ACTIVATE THE STOKER MECHANICAL FUNCTION 2 OR 3 TIMES AS IT GOES AROUND THE TRACK(BASED ON MY SET-UP TEST RUN). I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AS IT MAY DEPEND ON HOW THE SECTIONS ARE COUPLED TOGETHER.
THE CARS ARE PULLED AROUND THE TRACK BY A VERY POPULAR RED O GAUGE LIONEL
COMMODORE VANDERBILT
LOCOMOTIVE.
THE LOCOMOTIVE'S HEAD-LIGHT COULD BE ACTIVATED BY AN ON/OFF LEVER SWITCH IN THE REAR CAVITY OF THE SAME, BUT IS NOT CURRENTLY FUNCTIONING.
THE STYLE BATTERY THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE LAMP IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. A FEW YEARS AGO, I DID SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY AVAILABLE AS A REPRODUCTION BATTERY. IF THE NEW OWNER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER AND MODEL NUMBER OF THE DISCONTINUED BATTERY, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE THE SAME.
I HAVE CONFIRMED MY BATTERY FINDINGS WITH LEADING VINTAGE TRAIN RESTORATION COMPANIES AND THEY CAME UP WITH THE SAME RESULTS THAT I HAVE POSTED.
THE 10 PIECE 3 RAIL TRACK SET SHOWN IN MY OPENING PHOTO IS INCLUDED WITH THE SET. THE SET IS IN
SCARCE
NEAR MINT/MINT
CONDITION.
ADDITIONAL O SCALE 2 AND 3 RAIL VINTAGE TRACK IS AVAILABLE ON EBAY ALL THE TIME. TRACK PRICES ARE REASONABLE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HIGHER QUALITY ORIGINAL 2 RAIL TRACK.
BY ADDING SOME STRAIGHT TRACK SECTIONS CERTAINLY INCREASES THE FUN OF PLAYING WITH THE TRAIN FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. THE 2 PIECES OF STRAIGHT SECTIONS THAT I HAVE INCLUDED ARE MARKED "LIONEL". THE CURVED PIECES ARE MARKED "K-LINE".
I'M ALSO INCLUDING A
PHOTO-COPY
OF A BI-FOLDED “ORIGINAL” 1935 LIONEL TRAIN PROMOTIONAL PAMPHLET WHICH HAS SOME WONDERFUL INFORMATION AND GRAPHICS FOR NOT ONLY THE CIRCUS TRAIN BUT HANDCARS AND MUCH MORE.
PLEASE VIEW MY MANY ENCLOSED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE QUALITY OF EACH OF THE PIECES THAT MAKE UP THE VERY SPECIAL VINTAGE MODEL TRAIN SET FOR YOURSELF.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS...............
