2505W Virginian Five Car Diesel Freight Set (1958)

History
The E-33 rectifier was a new locomotive on American railroads during the mid-1950's. Soon after the prototype was introduced, Lionel created its own semi-scale model of this unusual-looking locomotive: the 2329 Virginian.

Set 2505W introduced the all-new Virginian rectifier to the train-buying public. Within this set are three very fragile freight cars: 6519, 6800 & 6805. It is truely rare to locate this set with complete and undamaged freight cars.

Because the E-33 locomotive was not widely recognized by the public in 1958, sales of this set were poor. In turn, this set has become difficult to locate.
