Description: This is a nice and rare O Scale prewar Steam Locomotive made by Lionel. And this is a fairly hard to find one as This is a Scarce Version of this Prewar 260E Locomotive that Features The buzzing and synchronized Chugger Unit and the 4 position switch (see inside cab) and The Loco & 12 Wheel Whistle Tender are all in Gun Metal Gray!! This edition of this Engine was Only Available From 1934 To Early 1935, making this one the rarest and most highly sought after of all these Prewar Lionel 260E’s!! So This is a really nice find and a really nice engine and I have it listed at a quick sale price, and because of that this will not be here long! Condition: This train is obviously quite old (soon coming up on 100 years) and of or course has been used / ran! However, this one seems to be fairly well kept and or restored, as I sat it on my test track and thoroughly ran it and tested it, and it runs great and it has nice front lighting and a red firebox glow underneath! It runs extremely well in both directions, and the old e-unit works great, in fact the 4 position switch in the cab seems to work without a problem! Also of note, I tested the synchronized chuffer unit (using the 4 position switch, see the small instruction tag) and it works great, and I must say is very neat for something that was built so long ago! Also, I Tested the whistling tender, and it works great too, although I did notice that you have to have a fairly robust Pre or Post war transformer to get it to activate perfectly every time. Now for any problems: I noticed that most of the body mount tabs on the tender have been broke off and the two that remain seem like they are just about to break off (it appears that even one more removal of the tender shell will do them in permanently). Other than that though, it seems to be in surprisingly good shape mechanically. Now cosmetically speaking though, it does show its age and use at times, for example: there are some scratches and or paint chips in spots (which I show in the photos), and there appears to be a couple of spots on the cab that have been touched up (although it is not very noticeable since the paint color is very close) and finally one of the red light lenses near the steam chest appears to be slightly brighter red than the other so I suspect that one or both have been replaced, but other than that, this one actually looks really excellent for its age.
