Lionel O gauge 0-6-0T switcher
Some of the 0-6-0T’s are a very heavy smokeing locomotive.
A beautiful and surprisingly powerful locomotive I’m proud to own. I wish Lionel would bring them out in a few colors though as I could run several to brighten up my railroad.
A great little loco. Looks just right.
I recently purchased this little locomotive and I love it! It is perfect for switching. It looks great, operates great, and the price can’t be beat. Lionel has a homerun with this one!
I received this little workhorse two years ago (Reading Co. version) as a gift and really like how it looks and runs. Since I am a Reading Co. fan it really suites my railfan taste. I have not seen any more Reading versions since then.
Sure glad i purchased this locomotive.Mine is a fantastic smoker.only negative comment is the whistle.Then again what whistle.More of a sickly deisel horn.But over all i will still rate it at 5 stars.purchased mine through Hobby Surplus in Ct. for $89.Good job Lionel.
I like this little 0-6-0. It runs great and is a good smoker. I wish they had an undecorated version. My favorite railroad, the Texas & Pacific, had one of these tank engines #40. I plan to convert my Union Pacific 0-6-0 to the T&P look alike.
This is my first Lionel steam locomotive, (I am new to the hobby). It is perfect for the very small O Gauge layout I plan to build. Yes, the steam whistle is a joke, but for only $100, it is a fantastic little tank locomotive. Worth every penny I paid for it!
