Lionel #1663 0-4-0 Switcher with #2201T Slope Tender from 1940-42 PreWar production. Three Prong Tender “male” connections to Cab of Loco. Layout Tested, Oiled, Cleaned and Lubed. Since I’m more a PostWar guy, admit this is a bit out of my “wheelhouse”… Not 100% sure about harness hook ups, but all ran well w/ 3 Position E-Unit. Tender backup light did not go on, but probably a bulb or wrong lead from tender. It’s way too Excellent to mess with this classic of which I can find little references..

Paint seems in fair condition. The locomotive paint is in much better position than the tender -one side of the tender is fairly chipped. So assume the worst but be pleasantly surprised if it works. The geared wheels move freely with all moving when I turn one wheel. All the wheels move freely on the tender. The magnetic coupler on the tender is locked but I was able to manually lift the pin and it opens and closes nicely. I can always add detail photos if needed.
