Nice old 158 Lionel, they were only made in 1923/24 scarcer type. Same size as the 150 but dummy head light. Bought it but had much work on the engine, wheels, Pick ups. Cab damage, Frame damaged, wires repainted. Vintage/Antique Lionel 158 Prewar 0-4-0 Electric engine. Dummy Head lights are on all 158’s. To restore these from almost junk take many hours, parts and finding the old prewar parts are getting very hard to find. I try to save every old part, fix them, and polish them to look good. Like restoring a old car you never get you value of your time. It’s just a hobby to get them back one the road. After painting and adding the decals I put a coat of clear coat over the whole shell to protect it from chipping and the decals from wearing. The 158 Engines runs only in one direction forward and is shorter than the 152/153. You only run them one way anyway. I when over this engine and re-painted the shell and frame. After completed I put a coat of clear coat to protect the decals and prevent rust on hand rails. This one was in real bad condition but now back on the road again.
