Hi fellow collectors out there. Up for sale is a 392E in gray that has been redone. It looks beautiful in it”s reconditioned state. The engine has the firebox red light, a chugger (with switch but you may have to play with reed switch), a whistle tender and an e unit. The engine runs great with the E unit operating correctly but not every time. For its age, it does very well. These are my personal trains. These I found stored away. Ll answer any guestions you may have.
