Can't recall if I've posted this before, but at the risk of being redundant, here's a quite rare example of the very last version of the Lionel 654:

Blackened domes, handrails, ladders, journals, and wheelsets, with manual box-couplers, these were rolling off the line in the days just prior to Lionel going over to wartime production schedules. After a few years sporting Shell livery, Lionel had reverted to Sun Oil for the last two or three years. Took me a long time to find one, and now I can't remember where.
