Lionel prewar Standard Gauge 408e Apple Green Locomotive in nice shape! Some usual scratches and wear. Both pantographs are replaced with reproductions. The engine has been re-wheeled. I don’t know if the motors work but I was told that it ran. I see that the pickups show very little wear!! All of the trim are intact. The shell has very nice original paint. However, the frame may of been repainted but you be the judge (it looks too nice). This would be a great candidate to service and operate on any standard gauge layout!! UPS will be my cheapest option at this time while other companies are 2x higher on their prices. Sorry, no PO boxes accepted.
