RARE Lionel Original Prewar #8 Pay As You Enter Trolley
Here is an incredibly scarce and desirable Lionel prewar standard gauge piece in collector grade condition! Includes early #8 Pay As You Enter Trolley in olive green/cream, with single motor and off-set ends! This piece is all original with no touchup or repaint ever. The #8 is among the largest and most impressive of the Lionel trolleys, measuring in at approx 20 long! The trolley is in excellent condition, showing light wear with a few nicks and small spots of paint loss. It has a solder repair to one seam on the roof as seen. The paint is excellent and stable with no flaking! This example is in much better than typically seen condition, and is in collector grade example for this early Lionel! All trim is intact, and the powered truck appears to have a screw in place of where the rivet should be. The lettering on the trolley is fully intact, visible, and bright! When bench tested here, the motor ran well and strong, and the light worked. However, the powered truck does not track well, and would need to be adjusted if running is desired. Please examine photos as they are the best description. Very rarely do these large Lionel trolleys come up for sale, and when they do, most of the paint is usually missing! This is a great opportunity to add a beautiful example of this piece to your collection! Do not miss it! Our TCA numbers are David Laliberte 02-54086, and Anthony Santilli 17-72670.
