I've had a 262e that I picked up a while back for $10 that someone had cut the cowcatcher off of. It's been sitting at my friends house in pieces in his sandblaster for months, but I finally got around to restoring it a couple days ago. It turned out looking pretty nice and runs well with my original 262.

Sorry for the crummy photos, my camera has aged worse than my trains.

BC7D64B2-F310-41BF-95CD-42F1170EE99BGreat job Brian. To me, taking an older Lionel train in bad condition and restoring it and getting it to run again is like bringing life back to an inanimate item to let it run and entertain again. I have a large collection of prewar trains and a lot of the locomotives came out of a rustbucket. When I buy them they go directly to my bead blaster, then to my homemade spray booth for a coat of primer and then on a shelf until I decide the final color to use.

The picture is of a finished 817 and a 153 awaiting it’s final color.

Again, great job, Jim
