Lionel 675 2-6-2 from early postwar period: Attachment:
File comment: Lionel 675 A reworking of the prewar 225E casting, the 675/2025/2035 was dressed up in the spirit of the Pennsy K4 Pacific (note the Belpaire firebox). This example is a bit knicked-up, paired with a 2466W tender. Pulls a lot, and it weighs a lot.Lionel 675 b.jpg [ 248.34 KiB | Viewed 21547 times ] Paul |

As a Pennsy fan, this and the GG1 were always among my favorite Lionel locomotives. Much smaller than scale, of course, but they gave a good impression. I had the American Flyer S gauge K-5, which looked a lot like this Lionel. |

Post-war / Pre-war:  Must have sold a lot of candy bars over the years... Paul |

Sometimes you find postwar (and prewar) trains in conditions that might have them heading for the bin. It doesn't take much to bring them back to respectability: Before:   After:   It's a good way to have some fun for not much money. Bought this Lionel 2465 in poor cosmetic condition (someone had slobbered super-glue all over it). An evening's work removing the super-glue, a shot of Testors silver paint and a few decals from George Tebolt and its back to something nice. Lithography is where you run into problems...not much can be done with that. Paul |

Lionel 6404 flat with automobile: Attachment:
File comment: Lionel 6404 with automobile Lionel 6404.jpg [ 202.46 KiB | Viewed 21547 times ] This car was included in a Quaker Oats promotional set offered briefly in the early 1960's. Lots of play-value here, something Lionel tried to emphasize with their postwar sets. Paul |

Nice, though, with slots for stakes if you wanted to do something fancy. |

Here's a Lionel 1655 from 1948-49. While similar to the Scout 2-4-2, the 1655 (and sister 1654) had standard knuckle couplers and was sold in small sets with O-27 cars. They don't pull more than three or four cars. I have a prewar 1684 2-4-2 which is almost exactly the same as the 1654/55. Paul

Looks like the same exact casting. This one's in pretty good shape for its age. Usually I see them with more damage to the walkway etc. - Other Paul |
