Here is a neat clean vintage Lionel item--this is a postwar 2466WX tender. It would look great with any of your old postwar Lionel--or run it with your PREWAR steam engine and have a way to TRANSITION into your postwar cars. It will look good with any tenderless Lionel steam engine from any year post 1945. It has the operating knuckle coupler on the back.
The 2466WX was based on a New York Central style tender.
The number tells us it has a whistle (W) and that this particular one was only available in sets (X). This is perfect if you are completing a set. This tender was ONLY available in sets.
Check out the trucks on this one--it has the MARBLED fiber board under the truck and even a marbled pick up shoe (not sure I have ever seen that!).
The 2671WX originally came in sets with steam engines in 1946-48 such as the
-
224
- 675
-
1666
This early coal tender is based on a New York Central prototype that was developed during the Pre-War Era as the No. 2666T/W in 1941. Sold only in sets, the body was heat-stamp "LIONEL LINES" on the sides and was attached to a sheet-metal chassis that was equipped with staple-end trucks that has one electronic coil coupler. This tender has rails on the rear deck. A feature that would not be seen on the Early Coal Tenders after 1950.
BUT it will go with ANY Lionel steam engine.
