Lionel pw-57

57 AEC MOTORIZED UNIT

This item was available for sale in 1959 and 1960 for separate sale only. 2-4-2 Vulcan switcher. This engine would have been seen shunting the yard. It has an unpainted white body with red painted cab sides and white heat-stamped lettering. However, the bodies on these engines rarely stay white. Age takes it's toll by turning the white a yellowish/cream color

Features stylized "Atomic Energy Commission" ("AEC") logo on each side of the cab, ornanental bell, chemically blackened side and low end rails, three position E-unit, no light, operating couplers, and the famous Pullmor motor. The window struts are often broken or repaired. They were a structural weak spot and often broke right away if the owner grabbed the item from the top. It is extremely tough to find one of these with a pure- white cab and intact struts.
