Very nice restored Red 253 engine. Lots of time involved also having to make parts not available. 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. They are almost impossible to find anymore. And are not cheap. 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. It is a very nice Lionel 253 restored Great condition. I had clean all the brass, wheels are new, serviced and rewired. Install a repaired reversing switch, lube and replace brushes. Cleaned up very nice. See the last pictures of it running. Runs great is both directions. Service and added new wires. Tested it running in forward and reverse. I serviced the motor, Serviced manual reversing switch, Antique Prewar Tin Plate Engine. Made in the late 1920’S. Runs F & R, Great runner Forward and reverse. Look at the picture. Decide for your self. SEE PICTURE OF IT RUNNING. Thank you for looking You will get the engine you see! If more I will pay. Going to the West coast always cost more. This item is in the category “Toys & Hobbies\Model Railroads & Trains\Railroads & Trains\Locomotives”.
