LGB 20537MF Marshall Field’s Great Western Railroad Passenger Set 1987

Description

LGB 20537MF Marshall Field’s Great Western Railroad Passenger Set. Condition appears to be excellent, very lightly used (see pictures). This is a classic, rare, dated (1987) G gauge complete vintage train set. There were only 500 of these made for Exclusive Marshall Field’s distribution. The original price on it in 1987 was 5 and could be purchased only at Marshall Fields.
These remarkable trains are durable, easy to get on the tracks (which are brass for indoor and outdoor use), reliable, and fun to play with. High quality West German manufacture (not China).
The doors open and latch closed using the door handles on both ends of the passenger cars. The roofs are removable to expose the seats inside the car. The engine has both forward and reverse lights and is marked MFGWRR 1987. A circle of 12 curved tracks included along with 4 people.
This is a well made and solidly constructed set. For those buyers who do not need the track, I will reduce the overall price . Please specify in your offer if you are including the track as part of your offer. If you do not specify, I will assume you want everything shown. If you want the discount, tell me please. Do not rely on the pricing of previous sets, as that may represent only the price of partial sets, not the set shown here.
This train is packaged in a traditional red window box (see pictures) and is one of the rarest LGB sets in my collection. Marshall Fields was a large department store in Chicago similar to Macy’s. I remember this set on display as part of their Christmas show cases.
I collected a number of sets, so check out my other listings.
Local pickup can be safely arranged to save shipping costs from the Chicago area. I will ship immediately on payment to assist in getting this to you as quickly as possible.
