1946 Lionel 0-6-0 Switcher

BradOGR Forum Member

I recently picked up a beautiful #233 Switcher and 2233B Tender but have no service info for either, they are similar to the #232 0-6-0. Does anyone have any info on these switchers? Does anyone have a copy of the original info that came with a new one in the early 40'S. Pre war info seems to be scarce. Even if you only have one please contact me. Thanks!

The #233 0-6-0 semi-scale B-6 was made in 1939 for regular Lionel tubular track, rather than T-rail for the scale 701 B-6.

The #233 came with Magic Electrol, which means pressing the whistle button on the transformer will change the direction of the train, since it didn't have a whistle.
