This is a like new Lionel Southern Pacific Shasta Daylight 18 4 car set 6-35445. He Shasta Daylight set is a beautifully detailed and and highly desired offering from Lionel. However, the trucks were prone to zinc pest corrosion resulting in very few usable sets in existence. This set has had ALL of the trucks replaced with brand new components from Lionel. The trucks are in pristine condition and are no longer at risk of failure. The set has been mostly stored with little usage and is in like new condition. All of the original boxes and packaging are included and also in like new condition – including the original shipper. I also have the matching 2 car add on set and the Lionel PA matching locomotives for sale in other listings. The Shasta Daylight was the SP’s only long distance, non-regional Daylight train. It was most commonly pulled by Alco PA’s beginning in 1949. Die-cast metal sprung trucks and operating couplers with hidden uncoupling tabs. 18 extruded aluminum body. Separately applied windows with painted frames. Separately applied roof vents and grab handles. Separately applied metal underframe details. Authentically detailed and painted interior. Overhead interior lighting with On/Off switch. Passenger and train crew figures.
