These roofs were upgraded to these car body’s by me thru a series of different sets to get the best which is why the bodies are a lower grade than the high grade roofs but still very clean. I now have a mint boxed set and no longer need these. Tough cars in original condition. Body’s are very tough to find in EX- condition (light scratches, dings, flaking and light corrosion may be present) These cars are multiple grades better than normally found. The original aluminum roofs are in incredible original condition! Best i’ve seen! Missing 1 hook on one of the couplers. These cars can be found in the desirable GM 224e Set. Please use the photos for your best description.

Anyone looking for a PreWar 224 in uncompromising condition should love this one. It is the 1945 version (floor squared along back) which is significantly harder to locate than the 1946 unit. The black hand rails make it even a greater find!! The entire unit has been restored down to the last nut and bolt. It has been cleaned, E-unit rebuilt, rewired, lubed, brushes, and all else contained in the word restored. Lots of resources involved to leave you breathless as you try to say WOW! Don’t pass this one by! I ENCOURAGE YOUR REVIEW OF MY CUSTOMER UNBIASED COMMENTS. If there were only one phrase I could distill from my restoration experience, it would be “Reputation is Everything”. My main goal for this site is to have satisfied customers who will come back in the future to add to their collections without hesitation. I have made a commitment to represent every item with a thorough description and detailed photographs. Want to share a customer’s message to me: I received the 2035 and 6466W this afternoon. And the units are much more than a WOW. THESE ARE THE TWO MOST BEAUTIFUL I OWN THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR WORKMANSHIP. I WANT TO TELL THE TRAIN WORLD OUT THERE OF THE THRILL YOU HAVE GIVEN ME. I never would have dreamed I found you and the memories you have brought back to us. Another UNSOLICITED note from a noncustomer 7/21/19. I have repaired since 1971. I wish I knew what chemicals he used. My hat is off to your work. You do masterful work. This item is in the category “Toys & Hobbies\Model Railroads & Trains\Railroads & Trains\Locomotives”. The seller is “tecumsch76″ and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
