Lionel Prewar 249E 2-4-2 Steam Locomotive Beautiful Gunmetal w/Nickel Trim w/OB

Description

From a large collection we just purchased.  100% original with absolutely no repro parts and no finish "touch ups".  Only defect is a non-original hole in the deck above the pilot and some very minor deterioration on the pilot truck wheels.  See closeup photo.  The loco runs and reverses well but the headlight is not working.  The original box is rough but does include the original corrugated liner.  It grades C-6 Very Good by Train Collectors Association grading standards.  My TCA number is 86-23651.
Please check the photos carefully;  What you see is exactly what you'll get!
