Original Ives motor and Wiring. Shell and frame in excellent condition. When tested front headlight goes on and it will go forward and reverse if you play with the directional and find where it connects just right. Will need tinkering for sure. Lovely piece for a runner!

PLEASE READ]]>
























I think this set dates between the mid 1900s to the mid 1920s. It was produced by Lionel. This set can be used as a restoration project and/ or parts. The overall condition of the set is pretty rough. You can see the condition issues in the photos. The paint is flaking off, there’s scratches, and dents. It’s missing pieces. I wasn’t sure if it’d work or not. Everything is original and doesn’t come with the original box. Picked this set up at a local flea market. I hope someone will repair and restore this set back to its former glory. Thank you for looking at my listing!
