RARE: Original INTACT Lionel 255E Frame and Boiler Front
(ON HOLD FOR GREG)Here is a RARE: Original INTACT Lionel 255E Frame and Boiler Front. 1935 production die cast was made for Lionel by Dorfan in many cases. Its very difficult to find locomotives from this period intact, 255E being the most difficult. I took apart a rusted unit to scavenge this. Its not perfect, but has better paint than most I have seen and solid straight example. Last photo shows the union stamp, so its original and I left the boiler front and latch, also solid. The best part is the trim is intact with factory peans, so will slip on to a nice example with minimal effort. VG+.
