This powered Lionel New Haven "A" unit is brand new and comes from the indoor, temperature controlled storage unit of a hobby shop that closed up in the early 90s. As you can see by the pictures the loco is factory fresh! I ran it back and forth a couple times on my 4 foot test track to ensure that everything was working. It was originally paired with a non-powered dummy unit, but my dumb butt sold it last year not realizing I would come across the powered portion of it months later.🙄 The box and packaging is also in excellent condition. Shipping will be via USPS ground advantage and the loco will be packed in a new and sturdy cardboard box with plenty of bubble packing to keep it safe on its journey.
