I amdoing some “house cleaning” and getting rid of some trains I don’t need, stuff I no longer have time to restore or are no longer interested in. Watch for more soon. I can combine shipping on these to save $$ Up for auction is a Lionel 516 hopper. For parts or restoration. TYPE V, brass plates, nickel journals. Car has been over painted black, paint is flaking in areas. No dents or dings. A very slight bend in one side, (photos 5 &6) Dump bin assembly is complete, but I could not get it to open with the wheel (will open if you pull the sides). One brass plate is corroded, needs replacement. Rest of trim should polish up fine. Rust on trucks, wheels, and couplers. One coupler missing latch. Missing 1 ladder, otherwise complete There is surface rust under the black paint. I recommend soaking the car in vinegar for a few days to remove the rust (most of the paint would probably come off too). The gold marks on the side are from me testing a rubber stamp. I was going to create a “junk train” using this and the other 500 series cars I have listed in bad condition. Planned on finding a loco in bad condition and a few more cars. Just something different. Perhaps the buyer would like to do something similar. Insurance is included with shipping! Payment with PayPal is required within 4 days, but I’m happy to accept a other forms of payment
