Help

I have an engine numbered 2025 on the cab but on the boiler plate is a penn keystone number of 5690 what year is it . Also the engine makes a buzzing sound but does not move I noticed the lever on top of the boiler is very loose I think that the e shift is not set .

Also I have an engine numbered 262 tinplate headlamp works but motor does not do I check it like the others as stated in the lionel book for operating from 1940.

I am also looking for the passenger car number 2422.
Thanks hope to hear from somone and Happy New Year

The 2025 was made between 1947-1952. There are a couple different variations.
