He was a collector and not an operator. As such he had no layout and did not run the locomotives. I believe that you would have a very difficult time finding a nicer set of these Lionel Century Club F-3's. I have both bench tested and "run" the powered locomotive on a large layout and it performs flawlessly. The set contains both the powered and dummy F-3 locomotives, a beautiful wooden base, original Plexiglas cover (not pictured), owners/operators manual and the factory blueprints that came with this set.
This beautiful set is museum quality and would be a wonderful addition to any collection or layout. Feel free to contact me with any specific questions you may have. If over, I'll eat the difference.
