LIONEL 6-21786 100th ANNIVERSARY SANTA FE F-3 ABBA & 7-CAR PASSENGER CAR SET NIB

Description

LIONEL 6-21786 100th ANNIVERSARY SANTA FE F-3 ABBA & 7-CAR PASSENGER CAR SET WITH TMCC AND RAILSOUNDS NIB.
I have reluctantly decided to sell this iconic and extremely rare Lionel 6-21786 100th Anniversary Santa Fe Passenger Set, as I am thinning my collection. This set has never been opened. It is still factory-sealed in its original shipping box from Lionel and CharlesRo. I am unaware that there is another Lionel 6-21786 factory-sealed set available for sale on eBay or anywhere else. The MSRP for this set in the Lionel Classic Trains 2000 Volume 2 Catalog was ,999.95, but I am offering it at a significant discount.
Because this set is still factory-sealed, I am unable to post actual pictures of it. However, I have included a few stock pictures of the set from the internet.
At the time of its production, this Santa Fe Warbonnet colors passenger set was unlike any passenger set Lionel had ever produced, in terms of the number of cars and the new features of the set. One significant upgrade was migrating from the traditional silhouette figures in the windows to much more realistic actual interiors and figures in the passenger cars.
The set contains 4 engines - a powered A unit with dual Pullmor motors, a powered B unit with dual Pullmor motors, a dummy A unit and a dummy B unit. The engines have TMCC and RailSounds. The set also contains 7 passenger cars - a Baggage car, a Combination car, 3 full Vista Dome cars, a Dining car with StationSounds and an Observation car. A full description of the features of this set is contained below.
I would rate the engines and passenger cars as C-9 and their boxes as P-9 under the TCA Grading Standards.
Please make sure to appropriately oil and grease the powered A and B units before running them, as they have been in their Lionel boxes for many years. Some light oiling of the dummy engines and passenger cars is also recommended.
Please note that I carefully package items I sell and place "FRAGILE - HANDLE WITH CARE" stickers on the shipping box. Please also note that the package w
ill be insured and a signature will be required upon delivery, for the buyer's and my protection.
I am a member of TCA, LCCA, LOTS and METCA - #s 02-54929, 42699, 9286 and 54929, respectively. I am also a longstanding eBay member, with a 100% approval rating.
