This train set belonged to my father. I believe that he would have received the set in’31-’34. Stored in climate controlled space always. This classic set, made by the renowned brand Lionel in the United States, features analog control and operates on AC power. Perfect for hobbyists looking to add a piece of history to their collection, this train set showcases the craftsmanship and nostalgia of a bygone era in model railroads. 23 Pieces of Track. Engine 238-E30 & Box. Tender #265W & Box. Boxcar #655 & Box. Oil Tanker #654 & Box. Caboose #657 & Box. Coal Car #653 NO BOX. 1990 MRC Tech II. Misc small Advertising Signs, Parts, Etc. The controller powers the engine and tender. The engine buzzes and bulb lights up, but does not run. The tender whistle receives power but only makes a grinding sound. Almost certainly never lubricated. All track pins connect well. The car boxes are original. Some boxes have torn ends. PLEASE MESSAGE ME WITH QUESTIONS.
Very nice 811 out of an Original 1 owner set! Original box is way better than average (look at pics). Missing 1 brass stake. May clean up to C8 EX+ with a polish!
This Box is for the first run Early Orange and Maroon roofed 217 Caboose. Very hard to find correct box with early Lionel Tape. Box is complete with minor wrinkles etc. Please look at all pics.
When I sell a item I go over it completely. Clean everything, make sure it run and replace missing parts, and make sure you have a nice running train. I do spend the time and restore them if in really bad shape. Original Lionel 250 shells did not have a slot on top for reversing switch’s. When they started making the 252 they had parts from 250 shell. To use them up the made some 252 with them rather than cut the slot in them. This is one of them. This is a very nice Lionel 252 serviced Great condition. I had this shell and frame probably restored by me awhile ago. Overhaul the motor, wheels, good wire. Lionel made the 250 pre 252 with no reversing switch. Look at the top, no slot for the reversing switch handle. Lionel later added the switch and cut a slot in top for lever and called it 252. See the VIDEO of it running. I list them for what I have in them, cost plus materials. Runs great is both directions. Service and Has been serviced, Tested and runs. Tested it running in forward. Antique Prewar Tin Plate Engine. Made in the early 1920’S. Look at the picture. Decide for your self. SEE VIDEO OF IT RUNNING. Thank you for looking You will get the engine you see!

HTF in any condition! Scarce attractive early piece. Missing a bulb, finial, and base looks like a great repaint. Original wiring, ivory shaft, target & shields. Great Layout Piece or swap the base and have a high grade shelf queen!
