15 photos available above
Now available for sale is the one-year-only set of United States Navy Alco diesels from 1960. This hard-to-find set was acquired from the original owner who purchased the set separately and not as a component of a Lionel outfit. Both diesels have been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, tested and ready to run on your layout or displayed in your collection. The front apron on the power unit has a hairline crack (as seen in the 8th photo), otherwise the diesels are complete and look great. Internally, the units look like they were manufactured yesterday -- they're spotless!
The exterior colors are vibrant while the side lettering and graphics are clean and complete. There are some very minor surface paint rubs on the power unit, but no paint nicks or chips. The B unit looks even cleaner and could be graded an 8, it's beautiful. The power unit has a headlight, 3-position e-unit and dual axle magnetraction.
Also included are great original boxes for both the power and trailer unit. The power unit box is solid and includes all internal and external flaps. The trailer unit is a solid and nice box, but missing one internal coupler flap. Lastly, original instructions dated 1960 are included with this great looking diesel set.
