LIONEL 726 BERKSHIRE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE & 2671W WHISTLE TENDER LOT DESCRIPTION: As the title says this lot consists of a Lionel 726, 2-8-4, Die Cast Berkshire Steam Locomotive with the 2671 12 wheel Tender. The locomotive has a operating headlight and smoke unit and the tender has the dual 6 wheel trucks with coil coupler and it also has a whistle. Both pieces are all original Post War Lionel including all original paint, letters and numbers. DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION: The locomotive and tender are both in great shape. The loco casting is perfect, no breaks, cracks or chips. Both classification lights (often broken off) are perfect as are the front cowcatcher steps. No rust or missing parts, great color, numbers nice and clear. As is often the case the latch in the boiler front is sprung, while the boiler front does stay closed it does not snap tight like it should. The tender too looks fine, no cracks, breaks or chips on the shell, lettering crisp and clear, and couplers in great, both rear steps are there and they are perfect. Some rubs and a couple of minor scratches on the tender but no real issues here at all. Again, a great looking set that IMHO I would rate as in excellent condition but look at the pictures and you be the judge. WORKING CONDITION: I have tested the locomotive and it runs and reverses just fine. The whistle read more
