When I sell a item I go over it completely. Clean everything, make sure it run and replace missing parts, and make sure you have a nice running train. I do spend the time and restore them if in really bad shape. Original Lionel 250 shells did not have a slot on top for reversing switch’s. When they started making the 252 they had parts from 250 shell. To use them up the made some 252 with them rather than cut the slot in them. This is one of them. This is a very nice Lionel 252 serviced Great condition. I had this shell and frame probably restored by me awhile ago. Overhaul the motor, wheels, good wire. Lionel made the 250 pre 252 with no reversing switch. Look at the top, no slot for the reversing switch handle. Lionel later added the switch and cut a slot in top for lever and called it 252. See the VIDEO of it running. I list them for what I have in them, cost plus materials. Runs great is both directions. Service and Has been serviced, Tested and runs. Tested it running in forward. Antique Prewar Tin Plate Engine. Made in the early 1920’S. Look at the picture. Decide for your self. SEE VIDEO OF IT RUNNING. Thank you for looking You will get the engine you see! If more I will pay. Going to the West coast always cost more.

The locomotive wants to run. The motor was running forward in a noisy and labored fashion. I didn’t do any maintenance on it so with some TLC I’m sure it will get running great. See photos for condition.
