Lionel® Santa Fe 218 Diesel Train Set w/ 2421–2423 Cars & Tracks, Postwar Era (1959–63)

Step back into the glory days of American railroading with this gleaming Lionel Santa Fe Streamliner set — a postwar classic that roared straight out of the 1950s with chrome sheen, red Warbonnet flair, and that unmistakable Lionel hum.

Leading the charge is the No. 218 Santa Fe Diesel (A-unit), proudly wearing its red-and-silver Warbonnet livery — one of Lionel’s most beloved paint schemes. Paired with its matching 218C B-unit and a trio of silver Lionel Lines passenger cars, this set captures the optimism of midcentury travel and the precision engineering that made Lionel the name in model trains.
