Post war Lionel 2671W 12 wheel tender with whistle. Appears to be lightly used and in C7 excellent condition. Shell is complete with Steps. No cracks, no breaks and no melt marks. Picked up at a local estate sale and was told it’s been untouched since the 1950’s so I would highly recommend it be serviced prior to returning to regular use. I did test it and it does work but needs oiled at a minimum however as stated above I think a full cleaning and servicing should be done. These are getting a little harder to find in this condition so don’t sleep on this.

Lionel PreWar #225E 2-6-2 Locomotive with #2245W Whistle Tender from 1938 to 1942 production years. Note: Second last bottom of tender incorrectly stamped “2224T” – frame may have been switched while trucks & whistle from a 2245W or a 2224W (identical metal tenders) were added over the past 80 yrs… Prewar mystery since this was not in my family and do not know the full history. Layout Tested, Oiled, Cleaned and Lubed to run well and operate as designed.
