Lionel 224E Prewar Locomotive with 2224W Die Cast Whistle Tender 1940. This is a Lionel 224E Prewar locomotive with matching 2224W die cast whistle tender produced in 1940 only (224Es were produced in 1940-41, but those produced in 1941 all had plastic tenders). The locomotive has a 2-6-2 configuration with Baldwin forged rimmed drive wheels, die-cast trailing truck, detailed valve gear, 3-position E-unit, and operating headlight. Both marker lights, and pilot steps are intact. The E-unit is new. The motor, E-unit, and all bearings have been cleaned and lubricated and everything works. The die cast tender has an operating box coupler. All hand rails, corner steps, and grab bars are original and none is missing. The whistle motor was cleaned and lubricated and works well. There are no cracks or chips in the body and all journal boxes are original.
