Up for bid is a vintage mojave standard gauge Lionel #408E 0-4-4-0 electric loco and accompanying mojave #418, 419, 431, and 490 passenger cars. Descriptions and conditions of the individual items are as follows: Lionel #408E - this is a dual motor, Bild-A-Loco model. Both motors run on the bench, but with some reluctance -- it probably is long overdue for lubrication. The wheels are original (The Lionel Corporation, New York) but have degraded and will need to be replaced. The mojave paint is in very good condition and appears to be original with an old patina - very few small chips. It is dirty -- I have dusted the engine and cars but have not attempted to clean them more thoroughly (see photos). Lionel #418, Parlor Car -- 18" L, lighted interior, lettering intact but faded, windows intact, paint good to very good, one side has a long scratch below the windows (see photos), dirty, has original oil seal. Lionel #419, Combination Baggage & Parlor Car -- - 18" L, lighted interior, lettering intact but faded, windows intact but loose & slipping down on one side, paint good but shows various areas of play wear, dent at one end of roof (see photos), sliding doors stuck in place so I have not attempted to force them, dirty, has original oil seal. Lionel #431, Dining Car -- - 18" L, lighted interior, lettering intact but faded, windows read more
