For your consideration is one 1948 Lionel  1656 Steam Switcher and Tender  ( Original Lionel Operating Instructions Included)

Both  Locomotive Shell and Tender Shell are Die-cast

 Tender is equipped with  ringing bell

   The locomotive and tender function as it should,

As you can see in the picture the paint has chips, and the best I can tell is really the only flaws to this set.

Feel free to ask questions.

  Thank you,  Ron
