3 pre war Lionel trains untested- so Im not sure if the motors work or not so assume they dont one that I have hopes for is the 154. The 3 are Standard gauge Lionel No. 8, O gauge Lionel 252, O gauge Lionel 154. See pictures for paint and rust details. Standard gauge Lionel No. 8: wheels are frozen rest of the parts seem to move with little force but. I cant see inside if the top switches move things internally but it should be a contact switch for forward, reverse, and stop functions. The gears are rusted so that may be the season the wheels are not turning. O gauge Lionel 154: wheels move all the way round together when one wheel is spun, all other parts seem to move with little force. I cant see inside if the reverse, forward & stop switch moves things internally. There is an x mark in what looks to be sharpie or marker on the top. Best hopes for this one for the motor. O gauge Lionel 252: one wheel moves freely on its own and the other 3 are frozen, rest of the parts seem to move with a little force. Cant see inside if the reverse, forward & stop switch moves things internally. Look at the photos for details. There doesnt seem to be any rust holes that are all the way through that I can see. I have other photos and can alway pop more up if you need more details. Again untested and possible motor problems.
