This is a very rare model with “The Lionel Manufacturing Company” on the inside (see second photo). This indicates the engine was built between 1913 and 1917. The engine has been cleaned, new cow catchers have been installed, as well as a new bell and light! Tested and it runs. The Lionel Manufacturing 33 Electric Loco Black NYC Prewar Standard Gauge X5783 C31 is a vintage model train locomotive, designed for use on a three-rail system. This electric locomotive, manufactured by Lionel in the United States, features a classic black color scheme and a theme centered around transportation. Made of metal and in standard gauge, it is a collectible piece for model railroad enthusiasts who appreciate the nostalgia and craftsmanship of prewar model trains.
