Lionel 2344 Vintage O New York Central F-3 AB Diesel Locomotive Set VG/Box

This is a Lionel 2344 New York Central F-3 AB Diesel Locomotive from 1950-52. The 2344 is considered by many to be the finest of the Postwar-Era NYC F3s. It has the nice detail of the original 2333 such as screen roof vents and nose grab irons but also has magnetraction. Features include dual motors, a reverse unit, operating lights, magnetraction, operating horns, die-cast metal trucks, and metal wheels.

This item has been graded per TCA standards C-6: Very Good based on visual appearance. There are light nicks, scratches, and spots of surface rust on the shell and chassis of both locomotives. Additionally, the portholes are yellowed and foggy due to aging. Two portholes are missing from the B Unit and not included. When tested, the powered unit runs well in both directions and lighting functions. Battery terminal will need to be cleaned and new D cell installed for horn functionality. This item has been out on display previously and its overall appearance could be significantly improved with a thorough dusting or a light wipe down. The original boxes are included and are ripped, torn, and incomplete. The instruction manual is not included. Please check the photos for a detailed look at this item. Overall condition is Very Good.
