Here's a cheap smoking Lionel set from 1953. Original cost was $24.95 making this the cheapest 1953 set with smoke.
Smoking 2026 with 2-6-4 wheel arrangement. 6066T tender without whistle. The cars are former Scout cars with the better Lionel knuckle couplers installed on the Scout trucks. A 6032 Gondola, 6035 Sunoco Tank car, and a 6037 SP style caboose round out the set.

Those are neat. Cheap too. You can get a pack of three f or about $10. I have a few of those, but you probably have more.

Hey Terry. Saw your 2026 on you tube. Nice video! Also see you have a bunch of HO trains running. Cool!!

Those aren't just HO trains, those are Marlklin. US soldiers stationed in Germany brought them back in the 1950s, and I ended up with them.
The Marklin has taught me to work in from the edge of the desk so small parts don't end up on the floor.

Every project I work on results in parts on the floor, so I spend too much time on my knees looking for them. The bench is usually too cluttered, so I have to work too close to the edge. I guess I need to put down a white sheet on the floor.
