ITEM NO.-------t88-90
TYPE--------------Electric articulated Set.
NOTE--------------Hoge was a Chicago based manufacturer of toys and trains that is not well known. This is one of their more popular offerings.
COUPLER-------Vestibules couple cars.
CONDITION-----EXCELLENT with a caveat. The chrome has been restored. I found this set in the late eighties and the chrome was badly peeling. I had it professionally rechromed in what is now known as "show chrome" finish. That is, copper, nickel, chrome. It is every bit as nice as the pics indicate. Look at the vestibules and you will see my reflection taking the picture! That's how nice the finish is. The bases are original blue paint but I hand mixed a blue to restore the lettering on the sides. Original sets I have seen are usually peeling or pitted. This is as nice a set as you are likely to find. One small ding in one vestibule.
PRICE-------------$750.
SHIPPING--------$15 in USA. Priority Large Flat Rate Box.
