Lionel 5733 Lionel Lines lighted crew bunk car in good condition - with a couple of issues. The good news is that the light works and this is an attractive car in nice cosmetic condition. One magnetic coupler works fine. No major scuffs or scratches. The brake wheel is present. The lettering is bright and the paint is actually not faded on the lettering as it appears to be in the photos...Lionel meant this to be a simulation of a wood-sided car, and the texture of the siding created gaps in the lettering. In the photos, this makes the lettering appear a bit faded or flaked off. The bad news is that one coupler doesn't spring open...it releases but needs to be opened manually. It closes and locks fine.

There is a copper tab above the pickup - perhaps that is the spring device and just needs to be bent into place again, I don't know. I tried to show this in the last picture. Also, there are small rectangular openings in the sides of the car and the top as seen in the 4th and 5th pictures (I think these were for lanterns by the doors and a chimney on the roof...??...if that is the case, those things are not present on this car).
