Vintage 1930s-40s pre war ww2 Lionel train set complete close to plug and play but needs tlc as it is 80+ years old. Train engine lights up and seems to run when I put 12v 1.5a on it with my variable dc power supply. 1259E engine car with paired / matched tender car. 3 passenger cars middle car has broken coupler and end car has none as made on the end. 1 shell tanker car. 1 untested American flyer transformer, looks like accessory power nut and stud snapped off. 14 Lionel straight track with power adapter. 21 curved track mixed Lionel and American flyer I think. The 5 American flyer tracks are rougher and have missing cross members or are slid.
