Best Box I’ve seen with Insert! All flaps with no repairs (time capsule piece)! Switches are black not green! Get it while you see it! Switches are in great condition with original wiring. I do not want to keep removing from box.

Item: Lionel Prewar Locomotive. If no photo of a box there is No Box. Description: Lionel PREWAR 226E & 2226W Diecast Tender. Good condition diecast boiler. Tender shell slightly warped. Still looks and fits OK. Very little corrosion or oxidation but VERY high mileage loco. Runs OK but sometimes a slight squeal. Like all large, heavy diecast steam engines of this era, it is designed to run on higher voltages from larger transformers. Rebuilt e-unit, replaced drum. WRONG FRONT PILOT CASTING Replacement does not fit well. Boiler face doesn’t clip closed. Chunk out of trailing truck wheel. Whistle motor cleaned, sounds OK but has rattle. Tender MISSING front steps. One hand rail stanchion broken. Please examine photos carefully. Photos: These are photos of the actual item unless noted on the photo. I’ve tried to show the condition as best I could in the photographs, however the photos can’t cover every square inch in magnified detail. Please examine the photos carefully. Not all items can efficiently packed together due to size and/or shape. Feedback: We appreciate your leaving Feedback and we will do the same for you.

However it has a slight wobble while running and gear noise. I think the wheels need reset. It ran great on my layout. Very nice as seen in pics.
