The repainted frame is the only original Lionel bit. The rest, couplers, journals, wheels, and axles, are all reproduction parts from now-retired George Tebolt. The Lledo Hudson ambulance is from their "Models of Days Gone" series, found on eBay. George made a lot of things possible over the years...have a good, long retirement my friend.
