O Gauge Engines In Need Of Repair

[Tyson Rayles]

I just called work (Lionel Museum) to have them look that up. It's a C &O 4-4-2 made in 1971-72 with a value (in excellent condition) of $55 so I would be careful about putting any real $$$$ into it. The 70's is looked down on by a lot of Lionel collecters as that was when General Mills had bought the company and was turning out a lot of low grade merchandise. Lionel got control back in the 80's and while that stuff is newer the 80's and up are as a general rule more desirable then the 70's.
