Here is a rare early 34 electric with slide on headlight. The piece is all original except for some replaced wiring. The loco motor runs fine but it will need a new collector assembly which is available on here or from parts dealers. I forgot to take a belly shot. If you need one please let me know and I can send it! If you are closer you can trust that the charges will be commensurately cheaper depending on distance. You pay what we pay. In most cases this eats up any combined discount and may result in the final price being more expensive than the sum of the original quoted prices. Nice condition but needs cleaned from long term display! Ran and reversed when tested. Monitor roof nicely repainted. Please view the pictures carefully, they are the most important part of the description! Photographs should also supersede any written description! If there is a mistake on our part, we will accept a return on the item. As per TCA policy, the description applies to EXTERIOR COSMETIC condition only. Any comments found in the description pertaining to operation are provided as a courtesy to our customers. No warranties on mechanical or operational condition are expressed or implied.

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!
