Here's an original and beautiful # 1656 Steam Switcher Locomotive with the correct 6403B bell ringing tender! This hard-to-find bell ringing switcher locomotive and tender have beautiful, original exterior paint with clean side lettering plus nothing is broken, damaged nor repaired on either unit. Both items have been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, tested and they work just as designed by Lionel 80 years ago -- including the tender bell! Lastly, the cab numbers are crisp and complete plus all side rods are clean and both units are free of rust and oxidation. Condition of the steamer is gorgeous and graded at an 8+. The condition of the tender too is stunning, but does have two tiny paint nicks on the top edge of the shell -- which can barely be seen in the second photo above (right above the letters LIO) on the side of the tender. Excluding those paint chips, the rest of the tender is in condition 8 to 8+.
