Lionel Pilot Vision Line 38752 Baldwin Centipede Diesel Locomotive AA set TESTED

Description: Hi, This is the Lionel Pilot Vision Line 38752 Baldwin Centipede Diesel Locomotive AA set!! Lionel info is below this description.These undecorated beauties were tested with TMCC and performed great in all aspects! 3 stanchions need glued back on and the very front one is missing. The pipe on the right side is supposed to stop there and not continue down like the other side. This should be an easy fix for a hobbyist with the correct glue. The front Stanchion (final one at front) was not found in box by me, but I would not rule it out. Other than that, this train is awesome as far as I can see! The photographs and video are part of the description. Please take the time to carefully look at all of them. I have never seen this train before, so not much for me to offer except the Lionel info below. These will be carefully Packed for shipment. Please see my feedback. Please see my store for many other great trains! Follow me to see all the updates. Thank you! Paul (AKA Fritz!) Thank you for looking at this listing.

To meet the needs of the bustling Postwar economy, the units went into production starting in 1945 and continuing through the first half of 1948.Unfortunately, the locomotives were built one by one, introducing differences in wiring and construction that would later contribute to their demise. Nonetheless, the Centipedes take their place as some of the largest diesel locomotives ever produced—and the most distinctive, with their iconic Baldwin “baby face” appearance. At over 181 feet for an A-A pair, these lengthy locomotive sets generated 6,000 horsepower.
