2217WS Four Car Steam Freight Set (1954)

History
Set 2217WS was the first of only two catalogued sets containing the 682 turbine. It is interesting to note, the desirable and sought-after upgraded 682 turbine ended up being Lionel's final "new" postwar turbine.

In addition to the upgraded turbine, this 1954 outfit included three other all-new rolling stock items: the barrel car, box car and stock car. Interestingly, this is the only set to ever include the -175 Rock Island box car. Finally, the only carryover component from the 1953 product line was the 6417 caboose.
