As usual, an excellent job cleaning and bringing the Lionel set back to life ---- runs quite well.

Got that set for Christmas 1960 when I was 8 years old. Still have it and run it every Christmas Day.

I've got the Lionel 1055 "Texas Special" F-3 that has no E-unit and only runs forward. I taped a piece of cardboard under the lever slot and used super glue & baking soda and filled up the reverse lever slot. Then repainted after sanding. Came out looking pretty good. I also ended up with about 6 Conoco tank cars that took apart and repainted the frames. Cheers from eastern TN

Those Airex cars also came in red and in a rare off color of the blue. Lionel was an Airex stockholder and, as I understand it, the fishing reals were a nice complement to the train line in hardware stores.

Nice find at a good price. This was an uncatalogued set Lionel made available to budget retailers at a price point meant to compete against Marx. Only available a couple of years.

The real Texas Special was a passenger train operated by the Frisco (SLSF) and Katy (MKT) between St. Louis and Texas. Both RR's bought equipment for it--your Alco FA approximates Katy's six-axle Alco PAs. 15:20: "Side panels" = Truck frames.
