Lionel standard gauge LIGHT OLIVE 347E electric - Lionel standard gauge light olive 347E electric passenger set in original box. Set consists of an 8E box cab electric locomotive that has been rewheeled, scarce 332 baggage car with red trim, 337 Pullman and 338 observation cars with red trim, C6-7 with a very good set box and three very good inner boxes.  After some deeper investigation, it is possible that this could have been a Sears set (although the ”E” on the set box would have been negated) because it matches the description of the set in Greenberg's Guide to Lionel Trains, 1901-1942 Volume IV prewar sets, by Dave McEntarfer, page 48.  The Sears set number was 5197.
