Now available for sale is an absolutely gorgeous, near-new set of Rock Island AA Alco diesels that were only manufactured in Lionel's final year of postwar production: 1969. These somewhat hard-to-find diesels in high grade collector condition have been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, tested and are ready to run on your layout or proudly visible in a display case. The exterior colors are clean and vibrant while the side lettering is in gorgeous condition. The frames, trucks and wheels are free of rust and oxidation and all functionality operates as designed by Lionel including the headlight and 2-position e-unit. Lastly, there are no nicks, chips nor blemishes on either unit and the front aprons are complete and not cracked. Simply put, these Alco AA diesels look factory fresh!
Two items to note on these diesels:
- First, the photos above appear as though the shells have different shades or colors. This is due to the lighting / flash of the photos. Both shells are absolutely identical regarding their exterior colors and lettering.
- The trailer unit does not have a simulated horn mounted to the top. When viewed from the interior, there are no signs or marks indicating a horn was ever installed by the factory. This was a well known issue in 1969 as Lionel's quality control was nearly non-existent in its final year of production.
