If my price seems high I want you to know that I usually put 6-10+ hours of labor restoring it to the condition it is at now. Plus I usually put Fifty to one Hundred dollars in refurbished or new parts & polished the good original parts. Sometimes less sometimes more. If you want one cheaper you may have to repair it and its costly. Even the new parts do not fit and have to be modified. This is a 250 which came out before the 252. (The correct early 250 was made one year only in 1926) then in 1927 they came out with the 252 and added a reversing switch, They also made some 250’s from 1927 to 1930 with the reversing switch. This was done with the lever coming out on top where they cut a slot.. The Early 1926 — 250 does not have the slot in the top of the engine where the manual lever would stick out like the 252. The early 250 had no manual switch so they only ran in one direction. I had this one laying around all beat up and decided to save it. So I restored it and now up for sale. Hard to find this early 250. It is a very nice Rarer Lionel 250 Restored Great condition. I had restored the shell with some new parts. Then the frame and motor for it. The motor was re-wired and new brushes. Service and added new parts where needed. See last pictures of it running. Has been serviced, some new parts, Tested and runs. See picture running is forward. I serviced the motor, Antique Prewar Tin Plate Engine. Look at the picture. Decide for your self. SEE PICTURE OF IT RUNNING. Thank you for looking You will get the engine you see!!
