Lionel Southern Crescent Steam Locomotive and Tender 6-8702 - A Lionel Fundimensions era O and O27 gauge model train unit featuring a 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive and matching tender in the Southern Crescent Limited livery. The locomotive is constructed with a die-cast metal body and a silver-toned boiler front, with the number 8702 printed on the cab side. The dark green tender features gold-tone lettering reading Southern and Crescent Limited. Integrated features noted on the original packaging include a Pullmor motor, smoke generator, working headlight, Electronic Mighty Sound of Steam, and remote-controlled forward-neutral-reverse operation. The packaging indicates the manufacturer as Lionel of Fundimensions, a Division of the General Mills Fun Group, Inc. of Mount Clemens, Michigan. The locomotive and tender remain in their original retail window box and appear to be in complete condition with minor surface dust and signs of handling; the items have not been tested for operational functionality. The original cardboard box shows significant shelf wear, including crushed corners, edge tears, surface abrasions, and tape residue. A small holiday-themed sticker is adhered to the center of the front panel.
