Here's a classic from about 1948. Not much run time. Very little brush dust. Probably a second run - after Lionel ran out of nickel plated rear steps. The pilot shields are nickel plated though. Probably never serviced. All the wiring appears to be where the assemblers put it. Even has the strip of tape to keep the front motor brush tubes from shorting on the relay bracket screws. Rubber stamped lettering. Porthole 'glass' probably not original.

Gorgeous!
Those are real nice is the wireing from motor to motor original as i have also a pair but they are the 2343 F3s seem all original bought many years ago that have the 3 piece molded wire connecting the motors if memory serves me correct its been a long time since looking inside them.
Thanks
