I bought a 262 engine & tender on ebay a few day's ago and it arrived today. It is a late one with an e unit in it. Completely original including the cow catcher, & the domes have no dent's. The red and

green markers are there. It runs without any problems. I have been wanting one for a long time. I will take a picture of it tomorrow and add it here. It came from a store in Iowa called Elystoys. That is there ebay handle.

Eddie,

Congrats on your purchase--please post pictures. The 262E is a great runner and has always been one of my favorites. To me, nothing says "Lionel Tinplate" like the 262E or the 249E. Great addition!!

eddie g,

Congrats on the purchase of a fine Tin Plate Train, you will love it. Glad to see you pick up an engine and tender you really wanted, Tin Plate is the very best kind O Gauge Train!

I have a 261 that has been in the family since before 1934 ( i have a picture of it around my parents Christmas Tree) I love it and it runs like a top.
