O Gauge Lionel 253 Electric Loco Peacock Orange Stripe E Unit Uncat Prewar X3169
Enameled metal New Haven type electric on 8.75 frame. It has original peacock finish with orange stripe at bottom edge, usually means a SPECIAL, possibly Macy. Finish is clean, has some wear, mostly edges as shown, brass trim, orange stripe matches orange windows. Headlight castings are replacement, probably some new wiring, disc-type wheels look like solid/clean originals. Motor has a 3-position E-unit reverse unit, no “E” stamped or on plates, so it probably has been added. There is no E-unit shut-off switch, but loco ran/reversed fine, lights worked when bench tested. Must sell as is, due to age. Not technically correct, but all Lionel parts, runs and looks fine, and an uncataloged variation! All Items, including N. (new-old-stock), are graded and represented as vintage collectibles. Operational ability and characteristics or completeness of vintage motors, mechanisms, wiring, bulbs etc are not guaranteed. We do not guarantee coupler operation. We try to note any obvious missing parts, defects or restorations in the description. Results are from simple bench-testing to help determine if mechanism is intact. Digital photography may distort image. The item is straight unless noted otherwise in the listing. WHEN PURCHASING MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE PLACE ALL ITEMS IN SHOPPING CART.
