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
