These diecast locomotives are powered by AC electricity and come pre-built, with an analog control system and a Three-Rail System gauge. Made by Lionel in the United States, these locomotives are a part of a transportation-themed collection, perfect for hobbyists and collectors interested in model railroads and trains from the 1940s. They engine and tender were serviced and both work properly. The engine is in VG condition but does have a crack in the corner of the casing for the tender attachment. The engine and tender both have some wear and scuffs.

Lionel 224E gunmetal finish prewar locomotive & 1689W tender. Nice clean original loco. I have been running this on my layout, and it runs great FNR all function properly, including the headlight. There is some spotting on the paint typical of this paint. She is a real beauty. The 1689W tender is in great condition also, and pairs nice with the 224E loco. The whistle works fine. There may be small areas of oxidation on either one. The motors and whistles I list are serviced, ready to install and enjoy.
