FOR THE COLLECTOR!
You are looking at a very interesting and certainly hard to come by original part for your toy train.
This is an original motor housing with a field coil inside for a Prewar Lionel Standard gauge steam engine. This collector was fond of the 385, 1835 and 402, but it could fit something else. It dates to the early 1930s. We put power to it, and it got power, and there was some movement to the armature, but not much. There are lots of good original and hard to come by parts here:
- field coil as pictured
- housing
CONDITION: For parts only. Housing looks to be in good shape. The housing sides are not screwed together. You will need to put together. Field coil housing is untested.
