Small gray NY Central streamliner with non illuminated blue passenger cars with silver roofs and underbellies: two 2430 Pullmans + one 2431 Observation. Early sets included a 221 loco with Aluminum colored wheels. Cars have flying shoe trucks. New York Central decal on tender. First postwar tinplate passenger set. Like all tinplate passenger cars they are susceptible to rust. Difficult to find in collector condition. Set box also difficult to find.
