Lionel Celebration Postwar Series 282R Triple Action Magnet Crane Model 6-22998 - This Lionel Celebration Postwar Series 282R Triple Action Magnet Crane, catalog number 6-22998, is a commemorative reissue of the classic postwar-era accessory designed for O-gauge model railroad layouts. The accessory is constructed from a combination of die-cast metal and plastic components. According to the product packaging, the crane features a motorized triple-action mechanism including a rotating crane body, a boom that raises and lowers, and a functional electromagnet that can be raised and lowered via remote control. The set includes an assembled remote controller and a special postwar builders plaque. The crane is finished in silver and black tones, intended to replicate the aesthetic of the original 1950s production. The item is housed in its original Lionel Legendary Trains cardboard box which features the series winged logo and an illustration of the crane in a freight yard setting. A vintage retail price sticker of 159.95 is affixed to the top right corner. The side panels display the barcode 023922229984 and a list of functional features. The original cardboard box shows moderate shelf wear, including scuffing on the corners, edge wear, and visible creasing on the top flap. A small vertical puncture or tear is present on the lower center of the front panel. As the item remains in the original packaging, the internal contents have not been inspected for completeness, mechanical functionality, or specific physical condition.
