For what it is, engine and three cars, looks like a not bad price.
Refinished tag....and description says restored.
Seen more of these with red and green number boards on headlights...never figured that out.

But I have NEVER seen anybody put red and green headlight bulbs instead of clear.
Interesting.
Presentation.
254.

Wonder if it was Mojave before repaint.....probably with Pea Green under engine hoods....not.

That's a great deal for someone who just wants to run some standard gauge on a budget.

Except it's O-gauge...

Yeah, never understood the fixation with putting green/red bulbs in these prewar electrics. I've seen it frequently; perhaps its an homage to Christmas and running under the tree (?)

Same on the lights; it's a Christmas thing.
