I think I have recently aquired an HO set by Lionel/Athearn but there is no L on anything

Will post pics soon but did Lionel reissue Athearn sets or did some items simply were not stamped with an L?

OK now here are pics

I picked this up at a TAG sale. As the airplane car was bought out I considered it to be Lionel

Further more since there was a Lionel Power pack I suspected Lionel

Checked catalog 1958 and it matches

YET NOTHING says Lionel on any of it but the pack


Also included pics of other items I got from same sale the loco is from Japan the signal I have never seen before and does anyone reconize tbe price tag

Diesels are made by Athearn. That steamer is a Sakai.

I am aware of Athearn's short lived relationship w Lionel I have some pieces in the original boxes and everything I have has the L on it
As shown the set matches thr catalog exactly both units are motorized and despite the colors the caboose is silver since I have a boxed one

The lot came with track as well and still have to go through that I do know Atlas Track was used frequently in sets regardcless of brand
I am asking that is it possible that some products did not get the L stamp on them?

The 0815 Gulf tank car was produced without the Lionel L Logo. The rest of your items should have the Lionel logo on them.

* It looks like the Lionel set and seems the have the L marking on all cars except the tank car which the photo is bad. The 2-6-2 steam engine is not Lionel . It is made by Sakai of Japan. It was sold as both Sakai and Champ.

I'm no expert on Lionel, but I can vaguely make out what looks to be the "L" stamp on a couple of the cars.

My lone piece of Lionel HO has a practically microscopic stamp, that is faded to boot....look closely

Yes, that's all Lionel HO made by Athearn, and I can see the L logo on all of the pieces that should have it. The tank cars never had the logo, but given it's with the others it's safe to conclude it was sold as Lionel also.
