2261WS Five Car Steam Freight Set (1956)

History
Nicknamed The Freight Hauler, this is one of seven outfits produced between 1954 and 1958 to include the 646 steam locomotive. This particular 1956 Hudson set includes high quality, colorful freight cars and has become a highly sought-after outfit during the past half century. Due to its continued popularity, in 2010 Lionel re-produced this set with copies of the original locomotive and freight cars.

One other noteworthy fact regarding this set pertains to the 6376 Circus Stock car. Although Lionel did offer it as a separate sale item, this was the only postwar set to include the Circus Stock car.
