Second only to the 156. Loco made between 1919 and 1923, (early Corporation era) has a new light bulb, otherwise all else looks original and complete. It is dark green with tarnished but readable gold stamped lettering, red window trim, wire-type handrails, strap headlight.

This is for a nice Lionel 318 pre-war standard gauge engine. From my own collection of many years. This is a strong, steady runner and just was professionally lubed. Has a manual 3 position switching between forward, neutral and reverse, only the reverse does not work – it sounds like it wants to engage and probably only needs a minor adjustment. I only run it in 1 direction anyway so it didn’t matter to me. Very Good condition and guaranteed to work. See pictures as they are part of the description. Happy to answer any questions.
