Lionel 2025: Return of the Broad Way Limited!
Posted by M. Mitchell Marmel on Saturday, May 31, 2014 6:38 PM

Another waif Lionel locomotive restored to health! When I got it, the side rods and boiler front were missing in action! Now, there's a nice fresh set of rods and a brightly lit boiler front gracing this classic locomotive from 1948!

Upcoming: New paint and decals for the loco and tender, and a new smoke unit (the old one had corroded beyond repair)...

I love the 2025, it's such a classic!  Perfect fit with the tuscan Madisons.

Beats my "Pennsa Fe Broadway Chief"!  Smile, Wink & Grin  That's a silver Pennsy GG-1 (with a single red stripe) pulling red stripe Santa Fe streamliners!  Laugh

My first Lionel train had a 2025 with the 3 green w/gray roof passenger cars.

I still have it and it still runs great.
