Here is a Lionel 221 Vintage O NYC Dreyfuss Gray 2-6-4 Steam Locomotive & Tender in gray from 1946 only. The black 221 replaced the gray 221's like this one in the '47 line. Features include a painted die-cast boiler, 2-6-4 wheel arrangement, detailed driving wheel hardware, black drive wheels, sheet-metal trailing truck, three-position E-unit, headlight plus wire handrails. The number is always stamped below the cab window. It comes with a 221W tender which is painted to match the color of the steamer and has the New York Central lettering decals on each side. Many collectors and operators still enjoy the 221. Although it is somewhat under-sized in terms of scale length, there is still a certain charm to this unique-looking locomotive. Clean examples of this steamer -- especially ones with original and completely intact tender decals -- are rare.
