The piece you are considering is part of my late father's largeLionel Collection.  Every piece in this collection was cherished and welltaken care of from the time it was purchased until his death some 20 yearsago.  Since then, the collection has sadly been in storage.  The timehas come to get the pieces back out there so people can enjoy them as much ashe did.  Because this collection has not been run in 20 years, expect somedust and possibly some necessary oiling/tune-ups.  I have tried my best todisclose any imperfections in the photos.  If you have questions - pleaseask.
