Lionel 700E Vintage O Prewar 4-6-4 Hudson Steam Locomotive & Tender -Repro Shell VG – Model Train Junction: Quality Parts and Art Supplies

Here is a Lionel 700E Vintage O Prewar 4-6-4 Hudson Steam Locomotive & Tender. This is the legendary 700E from 1937-42, one of the greatest model railroad locomotives ever built. This engine is a 1/4″ to the foot scale model of the famous New York Central. J-1e class 4-6-4 Steam Locomotive. This was the first mass produced scale-sized locomotive and one of the first to use the die-casting method of construction. The engine features an enormous amount of detail. This engine will not run on traditional Lionel track; rather it runs on special T-Rail track Lionel produced at about the same time. This is a great chance to own one of the most legendary model railroad locomotives ever produced.
