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.

Prewar Lionel 117 station with train control. This is a harder station to find than the 115 (which has exterior lights, this does not). All original needs a good cleaning especially in the crevices. Would look better once cleaned up. Check out the pics tried to show everything.
