This tough to find tower is in EX condition. Nice paint throughout and no major flaws. A few small paint defects but nothing significant. Tower has the green roof with nice patina. No dents or rust. The switches are included on the back of the structure, interior lighting. Very nice piece for your layout or to display. This item is from my personal collection. Lionel manufactured these from 1926-37. Please see photos as they are the best description. NOTE: I leave feedback 24-48 hours after feedback is left for me. I also use UPS on larger heavier parcels. I find these options reliable and least expensive. 99.9% OF THE TIME I CAN RESOLVE ANY ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT MY AUCTIONS AND GOOD LUCK!

I try to save every old part, fix them, and polish them to look good. ONE THING I FOUND IS THAT IT HAS NO MANUAL SWITCH AND NO PLACE TO MOUNT IT. IS IT A FACTORY ERROR? . So I just wanted to note that.
