Here is a rare early 34 electric with slide on headlight. The piece is all original except for some replaced wiring. The loco motor runs fine but it will need a new collector assembly which is available on here or from parts dealers. I forgot to take a belly shot. If you need one please let me know and I can send it! If you are closer you can trust that the charges will be commensurately cheaper depending on distance. You pay what we pay. In most cases this eats up any combined discount and may result in the final price being more expensive than the sum of the original quoted prices. Nice condition but needs cleaned from long term display! Ran and reversed when tested. Monitor roof nicely repainted.
