The Vintage Lionel Prewar Lionel Lines 1688 Set is a rare find from 1937, featuring a steam locomotive, passenger car, caboose, tender, and box car. Made of pressed steel, white metal, and tin, this set is a classic representation of Lionel's iconic trains. With a scale of 1:48 and a vintage appeal, this set is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of transportation-themed toys. The set includes light function features and is ready to go, making it a desirable addition to any model railroad collection. Also included is Type 1038 30 Watts Transformer, with 115 Volts 60 Cycles A.C. Only and does make a humming sound when plugged in, also included Type UTC Lionel universal lock-on.
For 1937, Lionel developed a more appropriate six-wheel mechanism for the O-27 locomotive. To the roster of Torpedo's came the Nos. 1668/1668E, with a 2-6-2 configuration. This new version appeared in cataloged outfits. The Nos. 1688/1688E were relegated to promotional sets, which were not listed in Lionel’s consumer catalogs.
