A very nice, never run (except my brief test trial), Lionel 21902 Heavy Duty Construction #1802 RS-3 Diesel (Fwd Only) for O/027 gauge made in 1999 as part of the 7-21902 Heavy Duty Construction starter freight set.
This sharp looking RS-3 style diesel features Forward Only operation (this engine was produced without a motor control board for simple operation), "Maintenance Free" can motor, 4 wheel drive with 2 traction tires, detailed plastic shell & frame, conventional transformer speed control, front (short end) headlight, magnetic operating couplers, works with AC or DC variable track power and has crisp Heavy Duty Construction colors & graphics.
**This was made as a light weight starter diesel to easily be able to run 3-4 cars around the layout without having to cycle through a 3 position reverse unit, ideal for young engineers and display layouts**
I replaced the 2 traction tires (original ones dried/stretched), lubed the gears & rollers and then briefly tested the functions on my layout and the motor & light worked great!
This engine did not come with an individual box (from set foam pack) but I'll include the original set instruction manual and I will wrap & pack with care prior to shipment.
I will ship the day after I receive payment and I will discount shipping charges for shipments I can combine the same day.

(to be fair to all I do not accept offers nor end auctions early)
Thanks, Mike
