Lionel Postwar O 2056 Steam Locomotive with 2046W Tender - Lionel Postwar O 2056 Steam Locomotive with 2046W Tender, original instruction sheet and nearly full bottle of smoke pellets, C7 as seen in the photos. This has been tested and runs in forward, neutral and reverse with headlight with smoke. The forward action is ok but I believe that there is some sort of issue that could be easily resolved. It will only run in reverse with some help and it makes a loud noise when it runs in reverse, then doesn't want to run in forward after cycling. Sold as-is as seen in the photos with no returns.
