MTH - 30-1144-1 Southern Pacific Cab Forward Steamer

Comes with Proto Sound and Smoke

LOT DESCRIPTION & CONDITION: This came from a recent estate sale of Lionel, MTH, and Rail King trains. Here is a MTH - 30-1144-1 Southern Pacific Cab Forward Steamer. This was used by the owner. He had a beautiful, large layout and had many different modern trains. I don\'t know how much he ran this. My Lionel service repairman does not work on MTH or modern trains because of the new computer chips in them. He prefers pre and postwar trains. He told me it would run because of the condition it was in. He also stated there are batteries in them that my lose their power and not start right away. If you have MTH and Modern trains you probably understand this. This was not mine, it came from the sale. Know this before you offer. The item you see in the picture is the item you will be getting. Check out all of the pictures. Ask questions.

How I test the trains and cars.

These were not my trains. They were some other person. I don\'t know how they were treated or anything about them.

I try to describe the best that I can.

I bench test on a 3 foot section of track that has a UCS Remote Section. I see if the eunit cycles F-N-R or F-R for that 3 foot section. I don\'t know how it would work on a longer section of track.

I do not check the smoke unit if it had one.

When possible, I check the electronic uncoupler to see it it functions.

All items come straight from the sale, I don\'t know how long they have been sitting or in storage. This is why I suggest that you oil and lube the engine.

Sometimes there is a little dirt or dust on the engines or cars. I let you clean the way you want to.

On operating car, I also test on the track to see if they work.

If an item doesn\'t work, I sometimes take and get it fixed by a Lionel Service Station. I do not repair the trains my self. If it doesn\'t work, I list it that way.

Pictures are the best method of seeing an item. If you want a different picture let me know.

If you have any other question, please ask.
