I’ve had these post war madison cars for a bit and never ran them myself. Paint and lettering is still very nice, two of the three have been re-wired and light up. A spring is missing on one door. I believe I ordered the part and can throw that in if I can find it. Please see pictures for condition as they are part of the description. These are vintage items and are not perfect. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The Lionel r 229 Engine with 1689T Tender is a vintage model train engine produced by Lionel in the United States during the 1940s. This ready-to-go steam locomotive features a classic black color with a 2-4-2 wheel configuration, perfect for collectors and train enthusiasts. The diecast material and 1:48 scale add to the authenticity of this analog-controlled engine, making it a valuable addition to any model railroad collection. I would say the engine in in excellent condition. The Tender is in VG condition. IT was serviced, lubricated, tested and runs well both directions. The e- unit works properly. The tender is not a whistle tender, has a T not W designation. We believe in good old-fashioned customer service! We will respond to all inquiries within 24 hours, and work with you to resolve any matter! We will do everything we can to resolve the situation.

I believe this crane is all original and it is solid. It shows light wear and some scratches. The car has all its journals, handrails, and gearing. Please use the photos as part of the description. All the knobs work for turning the base, lifting the boom, and operating the hook. The boom is a little bit slanted, but it could be adjusted. The crane comes with the original weighted hook, and it is attached to a wire line.
