Lionel 238E Engine and 2225W Whistle Tender. This is a Lionel Prewar 238E engine with a 2225W Whistle tender. The pair have been restored. The restoration consisted of disassembling the engine and tender. The engine and tender body and frame were repainted in the original black color. The nickel trim was cleaned and polished. The engine and whistle motor were cleaned and lubricated and all of the gears, wheels and bearings were cleaned and lubricated. The engine and tender were reassembled and was tested on my O-36 layout and ran correctly with the exception that the eunit drum has one intermittent contact which occasionally required and extra cycle to reverse the engine. The whistle sounded off but is a bit noisy which is common for these prewar 80 year old whistles. This pair is in C7 condition and can be operated or displayed.
