I have a exc or exc+ 2356 low milage 2356 A and I have a Exc+ 2363 B in box. I have delema - I need either a Dummy 2356A or Powered 2363A. Does anyone have one that they would like to trade. I live in Florida and not too many train shows or stores down here.

It may help to know that Lionel used the suffix letters P for a powered A unit, C for a dummy B unit, and T for a dummy A unit. So it seems that you have a 2356P and a 2363C, and are looking for either a 2356T or a 2363P. You might also be able to use a 2356C.

FEC:

If I read it correctly the 2363 is more like a 2356C, than a "B". Not my road names, so I'm not a candidate. But I sure would like to find a 2344C for myself.

sorry for the superfulous discussion on types. I guess some folks just can't resist sharing information others might not be up on.

Back to the original question: neither is on ebay right now. You might want to try train store websites that sell post war. I usually seek these things out when folks are looking for them, but I need to brush up on my A, B, C's.
