This auction contains a factory errored Lionel O gauge car that was produced in 1986. It is the number 9240, the NYC hopper which should be an operating hopper but this one was made without it. It is in excellent condition and comes in a reproduction box. Ebay now charges and collects your state and local sales taxes on your invoice where applicable. This piece comes out of a very large collection so keep an eye out for my future listings.  Winning bidders pay for shipping and handling according to weight and state. In fairness to all concerned, this is an auction, with no Buy It Now nor Make an offer. Lastly, but foremost, if you receive an item that has an issue, please contact us immediately and we will be more than happy to rectify the problem.
