Warning- Lionel purists- turn away! At the TTOS meet today I found this snappily repainted A-A New York Central 2333 Lionel F unit pair. They had a decided "old school" look to them, with a lot of very nice hand striping work, which I'm guessing was done many years ago. I also didn't have any of these earlier pre-Magnetraction F's, the others I have being the 2343 and 2344. All these early Lionel F units were so nicely done that no doubt many hi-railers repainted them more to their liking. In this case the "Built by Lionel" label, the GM insignia, and the gray trucks were dispensed with, presumably to create a more "prototype" appearance. Some photos on the layout including a few of them alongside my Lionel 763-E semi-scale Hudson, enjoy!
