    NOT $469 worth. Sorry.
    I see a crossbucks, no mast. I see a searchlight tower no lens.
    NOT pre-war, not even close. One of the dump cars is hurt, I see an end railing separate, dump side laying full open. Both scratched to snot. I see the insulator from one separate.
    RCS/UCS and crossing track badly rusted.
    Caboose chipping paint or add-on paint splatter. Searchlight car is filthy.
    Engine is rusty.
    As-is, offer (if I was in a need), sixty bucks.
    Opinion.

    Cute the way the suggestion is there, and CYA'd with a question mark. No way this is worth close to one hundred bucks. Much less.

    Back when I bought and sold a lot of Lionel...the usual process was to throw track and pack in for free just to get rid of them.

    I can remember being offered many large boxes of clean stuff for just a couple of dollars- and much less..... The only stuff which ever seemed to actually sell was complete circles of O-72.

    WTH? Sure, 3409 with no chopper. Not a bad price at less than a buck. Has the launch mechanism. Fixed couplers.
    Look at the last photo.
    Blue flat, underneath shot....now it's not only missing the mechanism, but miraculously the holes are filled and blue...and it has operating couplers....
    You can buy a repro copter for twenty bucks..plus shipping..so the ninety-nine cents, plus shipping from Bohemia, add the copter and shipping...you could buy a complete one cheaper.
    Opinion and observation.

    Here's one complete in the box for BIN 50:

    Did we do this one before? Maybe a re-listing as he couldn't find any suckers.
    $3500 plus shipping...and it just doesn't look right. Not even any box rash...and look at the lettering and numbers. Looks like a repaint and someone hand-did the numbers and couldn't stay between the lines. Pantograph insulators not even down in the holes.
    Crap under the paint on the roof, no paint on the bottom under edge of the shell at both ends......
    Could be legit..except the "rare" green one goes for about a grand less at the highest priced sellers out there:

    Opinion only.

    Same engine, same year, used, BIN of 800. Look at the lettering and compare:
