Not enough paint left to claim is was ever painted. Pickup rings HORRIBLY corroded, gears rusted. Plastic useless motor block. Rusted, bend rods and crosshead guides.
Rusted lead and trail trucks and wheels. Tender drawbar broken off tender and jammed in loco drawbar, it seems.
Stupid version with holes on front and top for smoke to work.

Five buck at a train show and I'd still pass it up.

$75 plus shipping? Buyer would be an idiot.

Perfect example of a guy thinking he has a treasure. He probably found that in a garage sale for $20.00. Figured he could flip it on ebay for $75.00. Everybody knows Lionel trains are worth tons. I'll give him a little bit of a break. He dose not have 3000+ completed listings for toy trains. He'll find out soon enough it has no value.
