The loose tender is also with electric coupler and has some light oxidation as shown. Both very heavy and neither tested. The box is overall nice but does have loose end flap on one end.

This set brings a tear to my eyes as it is an equal save for the extra caboose to one handed down to me from my older brother in late 40’s, long gone lost in a flooded r basement. That set sent me on a lifelong love of Lionel and other trains that taught me about scale, electricity, mechanics, buildings, painting, tools, you name it! The engine runs fine all positions with light and marker jewels, side rod action fine, small operating bell on top cast shell. Pickups show wear but work fine, tested on my Fastrack 6′ straight section. Tender is sheet metal type whistle works great, has dents and dings and touch up paint I think. The gondola and Baby Ruth cars are this in pretty nice shape, 5 wooden barrels in gondola, NYC caboose not as good shape. There is also a 1041 60 watt rock kit the transformer with speed direction and whistle control, only plugged it to see if it hums which it does, these usually we work fine but only tested for the hum. Most car trucks have coil lift latch couplers no control track to not tested, don’t image you’d be doing car uncoupling much for this set. Check out the photos so you know what you’ll receive!
