@William 1- Beautiful Comet William and she does sure seem to run smooth.

My post today, is a repeat of one I put on "Front End Friday" because that was the day I was able to open the box that this gal came in over the Holidays - she arrived while I was out of town. She is a Lionel #253 from 1925-1926 period. After examining her in some detail (details of the motor will have to wait till I get her apart), she is period correct except appears to have aftermarket replacement roof handrails. They are supposed to be brass and these are nickel. Every other detail is correct from the flag pole holders to the name plates and reverse switch handle. She needs a thorough cleaning but that will come later as I work her up to operation. So here she is , my "new" Lionel #253 now about 100 years old.

Best Wishes Everyone...Happy New Year

Don
