Vintage Lionel Postwar 213 & 216 Minneapolis & St. Louis Alco FA A-A Diesels Tested
Condition Statement
Overall good to very good condition with clean red shells and sharp "Minneapolis & St. Louis / The Peoria Gateway" graphics. Fully tested and running smoothly. The #213 power unit chassis is functional, but the plastic front apron has a visible hairline crack/break near the pilot slot. Stanchions, roof horns, headlights, and couplers are intact. Underframes show typical light wear and minor age oxidation from layout run time.
