Hey guys,
I'm a long time lionel pw collector/operator with a(probably ridiculous) question regarding a pre-war piece/// I picked up a 226E last week in original L/N condition but upon reviewing MANY pix of other 226's online, I noticed the vast majority of them had all all silver 'stanchions' holding the side railings. The one I have has what appears to be 'blackened' stanchions with discolored(oxidized)silver tips. Anyone familiar with the process Lionel used here? Just trying to verify factory original. Appreciate any help here.
Thx!
