Likely. Never seen one like it before, especially with the house on it. Lionel offered a line of little metal houses (I have one.....) and maybe that's what is on the tunnel. Anyway, one must appreciate the finer vintage things in lifeherronpeter wrote:..........provenance of this tunnel. Nearly 200 bucks for a breadloaf tunnel-is it a collector's item?

It's always the bargains that are already sold

I see these at shows here for around $20 to $50 per condition, the only reason I even notice them- our mother picked up one at rummage sale cheapo; I didn't like the "reverse compression" of the exterior details or its length but you know, its the thought that counts.

Purely Tin Plate fodder, and though I admit it has a certain charm, would definitely be better suited for the 3 rail sub forum IMHO. I realize the 2R side is pretty slow, but if someone who actually has 2R interests stumbles by and sees this kind of topic, they will turn tail and scoot!

Actually, E7 I was thinking doorstop more that tin plate. This 2 rail forum seems to be more about older stuff than newer stuff anyway.

Doorstop collector here. No interest at all in dollhouses or Lionel tunnels.

I think that would look simply marvelous on your display layout.
