Lionel Standard Gauge Prewar Original 840 Power Station. Very hard to find piece. Original except for the steps which are MTH. They have been painted and aged to match the building. I’m not sure about the red tower on the top of the building. Don’t know much more about this, just what I’ve seen on line.

All of the end flaps are present and intact except for one end flap on the caboose box. A good amount of the inner flaps are loose or missing. The boxes are all strong and square.

It has one partial split corner on top section only. It has perfect graphic labels with a bright set number stamping. It is marked “peacock blue” which is very unusual and cool to see on this box!
