Overview
One of Lionel's most popular lower-priced outfits, the 342E came highly enameled in Duo-Tone colors. The set included the 318 Distance Control locomotive, the No. 310 illuminate mail and baggage carrier, the No. 309 illuminated Pullman car, and the No. 312 illuminated observation car. Introduced in 1930, the set sold for $32.50 and also included eight pieces of C-curved track, six pieces of S-straight track, one STC Lockon, one No. 8 controlling rheostat, and six No. 28 lamps. With "striking colors" and "realistic detail" Lionel asked its consumers to "think of the fun you can have with theses beautiful sets". Pairing this engine with its matching set of 300 Series passenger cars to experience what made boys happy eight decades ago.
