Lionel 3 Rail
This is a current project I am working on. For some history this is one of the earliest O gage cars. Seven inches in length it was manufactured from 1918ish to 1924. The dawn of O gage trains for Lionel.
It;s a little rough. A bonus in a lot I bought from Vermont. I am hoping to cure it from being an eyesore.
The first was to dissemble it. It was very simple. A screw on the roof and for each truck and two tabs holding in the inserts.
Then it is paint strip time. All I need is Easy Off oven cleaner and a freezer bag to hold it. Wait the wipe it off. Stubborn paint requires a second round.
The trucks had some paint on them. After cleaning up, I applied some gun blue to darken them up.
Not bad for something that has been around for 100 years.
