- Two from a friend, and two from eBay. I got things tuned up but are these 1954 2400 series passenger cars from Lionel too heavy for most postwar locomotives? We put the 2055 Hudson on the task.

Fun cars, I have them lead by a 2065 from 1955 , they were first drawn in the 1952 catalog but not made till 1954. thanks for sharing
I love those post-war passenger cars. 💯
Reminds me of when I was in kid. We use to run our old Lionel trains on the kitchen table. Thanks for sharing. Real good video.
Just a quick note, The 2055 came with the square tender. There are at least three different sets of the 2400 seires cars. One set with grey roofs, one set with Red window stripes (1956 only) and later a blue striped set sometime in the 60s. You do have the Elizabeth, was usually only sold separately and harder to find.
Yes. Elizabeth is in with the ones I have. They are tough to clean!
I use the Tandem Associates tender reference web page when I am trying to match up what I may be missing (or what may be incorrectly pared with a loco that I have acquired). www.tandem-associates.com/lionel/lioneltenders.htm#PAGE1. According to their information, the #2055 did have a square 6026W tender, but it could also come with a 2046W. Information on the #2055 says that the Variation A loco could have come with either, where the Variation B loco came with the 6026W only (officially).
The 2400 series cars with the grey roofs were earlier and featured two center rail pickups per car to reduce the flickering which could be more pronounced on turnouts and uncoupler tracks.
I’ll bet the wife loves having the trains on the dining table. LOL
Actually, it's her idea to set them up there. I am wondering what she is going to put on my "honey-do" list though! 😂
I had a set with a passenger car, dome car,came observation car, pulled by a 44 ton switcher in Burlington colors. That was around 1957.
Do you recall what happened to it?
pour me a highball or ol' fashion , reload that candy dish .
we use a black marker on the bread tie wire to hold those old couplers together .
Good suggestion. And just so you know I make a mean old fashioned!
The Elizabeth car with the red stripe on both sides are very hard to find
I wish you'd have shown how you fixed that coupler problem.
I'm kind of learning about how to do that too. Right now, black gaffers tape 😆
