Lionel 6-8851 O-Gauge New Haven F-3A-A Diesel Locomotive Set - A pair of Lionel O-Gauge F-3A-A diesel locomotive units, model number 6-8851, representing the New Haven (NH) railroad. The set includes one powered unit, road number 8851, and one non-powered dummy unit, road number 8852. Both units are constructed with plastic shells finished in a metallic silver-colored paint with a red, white, and black McGinnis livery. The powered unit features dual Pullmor motors, eight-wheel drive, a die-cast metal chassis, and illuminated headlights and number plates. Both locomotives are equipped with die-cast metal trucks and operating knuckle couplers at both ends. The set is housed in its original factory packaging, which consists of polystyrene foam inserts and a printed retail box. Manufacturer's markings on the box identify the maker as Lionel at Fundimensions, a division of the General Mills Fun Group, Inc., based in Mount Clemens, Michigan. Length: 13 inches per unit Weight: 4 pounds for the power unit. The locomotive units appear to be in unused condition, remaining wrapped in their original clear protective plastic within the factory foam inserts. The original cardboard box is intact and shows signs of light shelf wear, including minor scuffing at the corners and edges and slight age-related surface distress. No visible paint loss or structural damage is observed on the locomotive shells through the protective wrap. The mechanical and electrical components are untested.
