Now available for sale is a thoroughly cleaned, serviced, tested and ready to use # 497 Coal Elevator. This coaling accessory is clean, operates perfectly and there is nothing damaged, dented nor broken on the accessory but there are some paint nicks on the base and some oxidation on the bottom of the base (seen in the 7th photo above). Unfortunately, there is no controller -- so if you have a coaling station that is damaged or non-functional but have a controller, this might be a good option for you. Below is a summary of the coaling station:

• This accessory has been tested, rewired and ready to connect to a controller. The motor operates flawless, is nice and quiet and one of the better operating motors for an accessory.
• The roof is a reproduction component and the light green variation.
• The base has some surface rust (see photo 7 above) plus there are some paint nick and chips on the top of the gray base from Lionel tracks being installed.
• The accessory does not include a controller, 027 / O gauge track clips nor coal.
