Description

 

Here's another auction by   

Lone Star Trains and Collectibles,

Your Classic Era Train Headquarters!  
What an Iconic locomotive!
 

You are looking at a super MTH Tinplate Traditions release from way back in 1999--that's right, one of the very first catalogued in 1999. 

This one is the best of both worlds--the exact look of the classic Lionel 9E  dark green elelctric engine but now with the brand new parts and shine of a new item. Put this looker out on display and don't worry about a thing. Let everyone ooh and ahhh. PLUS this one has Protosounds added, so it has the look of the old days, but you can also have the sound you always wanted.

This is one of the earliest MTH tinplate items. As such, it is not one you see for sale all that often. It really is stunning.

It is a remake of the old classic Lionel 9E. Use it with any standard gauge, and it will be right at home.

This one is Protosounds 1, before DCS.

WE HAVE MORE GREAT STANDARD GAUGE OLD AND NEW IN OUR OTHER LISTINGS THIS WEEK--CHECK IT OUT!!

Features include:

  • Baked Enamel Finish
  • Metal Wheels and Axles
  • Operating Metal Couplers

CONDITION: C-7+ to C-8. Looks like new in the box. The engine and tender look like new. You might find a rub or two, but I have not seen any. There is some very slight oxidation on the rails. Tested and runs, lights, sounds, and smokes well. Recommend charging the battery prior to running as it is an older engine. With instructions and box. 

BOX is P-5 with a chewed corner, rubs, creases, indentions, and a tear.
