Lionel Prewar 262 Engine And 262T Tender. Classic prewar engine and tender. Shows some wear and tear, nothing major (please check the photos and zoom in – they are the best descriptor you will get). Has held up amazingly well considering the age of the engine. Could benefit from as decent cleaning and a tune up as its been up on he shelf for quite a while. Pleas be sure to oil it properly before first use and the internal parts of the engine could stand for a cleaning and the brushes replaced — just basic routine maintenance is all that’s needed, as should be happening anyway. These older prewar models are getting more and more scarce as time rolls on, so act quickly if interested, i see them scooped up rather quickly and consistently. No international orders, US only, thanks.
