Lionel
28069 CC II NYC Niagara 4-8-4 Locomotive
When Lionel first released this model it had a
common complaint that the gears in the gearbox failed. This has already been
fixed with a repair slip from Lionel showing the gears were replaced.
This locomotive runs flawlessly in TMCC but in
conventional, it will not reverse. It runs nicely but is locked into forward. It
did not clear with resets. I did not see smoke from the smokestack in TMCC or
conventional but the fan is running so it should just be the thermistor (resistor).
It has some minor imperfections like the spots of paint loss on the drive wheels
(see photo) which was common on the big locos by Lionel made in Korea over a
few years. It looks as good in real life as in the photos. Remote coupler works. TMCC coded as Eng #1.
Will come in the original box and the original
shipper.
Local pickup is available to avoid shipping costs altogether.
See photos as part of the description. If it is
visible in the photos, it is part of the description. A picture is worth a
thousand words (and much quicker than typing).
Combine auctions to save on shipping (see
below).
Local pickup available.
Buy a bunch, save a bunch.
One way to beat the high shipping costs is
always look for sellers who will combine shipping & then look for other
items you might like in my other items for sale. I will hold the items and
combine into a single shipment even if they are days or up to a week apart. I
will adjust your invoice to show the new shipping amount once the later auction
is complete. Items shipping in flat rate boxes may not be able to be combined
to save you money and some items would not be smart to combine into a single box,
such as a heavy transformer and a delicate accessory or two items with vastly
different dimensions.
This does not apply to international
buyers as the Ebay Global Shipping Program does not allow combined shipping
discounts.
If you want the combined shipping discount, you
must wait until I send a corrected invoice. I will no longer give partial
refunds on shipping after you have paid as it has become too cumbersome to
track the partial refunds to the satisfaction of the IRS.
BID EARLY AND BID OFTEN. BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
Please bid only if these terms are acceptable to
you.
Returns
I accept returns with buyer paying shipping to
return the item and I will then return the full winning bid amount upon receipt provided
the item is returned in the same condition as originally sold within 30 days.
If the item is sealed and you open it or you choose to operate a mint / new
item, that is a change in condition and I do not accept returns on new items that
have been used. I DO NOT guarantee that a new item will work upon
receipt. New items (even ones that are sealed) may have unforeseen
deterioration due to age and the length of time in storage (New & Sealed
items could possibly have unforeseen defects or other issues such as battery
leakage or corrosion that could not be known until the item is opened).
Shipping to Alaska or Hawaii
I have priced shipping for the continental 48
states. If you live in Hawaii or Alaska, you will need to contact me in advance
of bidding and agree to all charges for shipping that are greater than shipping
within CONUS.
