    American Engineering AT IT'S BEST

    The early postwar Lionel Locomotives are my favorite. They are solid as a rock and well engineered. Some would say over-engineered. Most are still running today. Can we say that about Korean and Chinese manufactured toys made today ! This Steam Engine has a die cast body, die cast trailing truck, Nickel rimmed, highly detailed Baldwin type driver wheels (Not Plastic), and full operating drive and valve link rods. The mechanical smoke unit is synchronized to the wheel rotation. Just a wonderfully designed toy. These early Lionel engines do not yet have Magnetraction, but that just means they run more prototypically. A little wheel spin as it starts pulling a heavy train load is just fun to watch. They are heavy enough to pull a decent consist of freight or passenger cars. Also, they are repairable. Parts are still available. No wonder they are so collectible!

    Engine will not run. Sometimes will start and go 2 inches then it will stop lever in correct position

    Engine will not run. Will sometimes start and go 2 inches, and then it will stop. Can you find a 2025 working replacement? I will pay any reasonable additional cost. What ever you can do would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Ron Lenzi

  • Lionel 2025 Postwar Locomotive and 2224W Whistle Tender

    The Lionel 2025 is just the best running locomotive in the Postwar Lionel line. I tuned it up and turned in loose. It will now run for another 70 years, because that is what is in the design and manufacture. The tender was a surprise. It was a 2224W that worked. All I did was clean it up, lube it, do the springs and brushes; and wow! It is loud and just great for my Prewar Lionel engines. Again, the engineering, design and manufacturing of this era model train is vastly superior to anything made today.

  • A terrific steam engine

    The Lionel 2025 is a mid-size O gauge postwar steam engine. It belongs to the K-4 class of steam engines. It is a smooth, strong performer. It looks great too. With proper care, it will give many years of service. It is an excellent engine.

    Light cleaning and lubed up runs very well for its age. Well made heavy locomotive. Smoke unit works well also.

  • IT DOES WHAT THE AD SAYS!

    It worked well for what I wanted. I have dis-assembled it serviced and cleaned the motor. It has been painted gray and black to match a prewar passenger train that I have restored.. At the present I am having problems with grounding the headllght.
