A Pair of Lionel O-Gauge The Texas Special Alco A-A Unit Locomotives - A pair of O-gauge Alco A-unit diesel locomotives manufactured by Lionel, featuring The Texas Special livery. The units consist of plastic shells on metal chassis with die-cast metal trucks and wheels. The color scheme is a two-tone red and silver separated by a white horizontal stripe, with the words The Texas Special rendered in red script along the sides. The lead unit displays the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (M-K-T) and St. Louis-San Francisco Railway (FRISCO) heralds on the nose. Both units are marked on the rear sides with a red box containing white text that reads BUILT BY LIONEL. The pair includes one lead unit and one trailing A-unit. A small white adhesive sticker is present on the fuel tank of the lead unit. The locomotives are in good, used condition. Visible wear includes minor paint chipping along the edges and roofline, with some surface scuffing on the plastic shells consistent with age. The silver-painted trucks and metal chassis show light signs of play wear and minor dust accumulation. The mechanical operation and internal components, including the motor and horn, have not been tested. An adhesive price sticker is attached to the fuel tank of the lead locomotive.
