THIS LIONEL 249 E LOCO AND 265 WHISTLE TENDER ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE. THEY RUN FAST AND SOOTH AS DID ALL HIS TRAINS. HE WAS A LIONEL REPAIRMAN 34 YEARS AND BEFORE HE PASSED ALL HIS TRAINS WERE LEFT TO ME. ANY TRAINS ON THIS WEBSITE ARE FULLY RUNNING AND FROM HIS MASSIVE COLLECTION. ASK ANY QUESTIONS THANKS FOR LOOKING.
