sold at a 2009 auction at serioustoyz.com
"S2 Turbine Locomotive & Coal Tender" #671/671W, 1946, Lionel Corp., 'O' gauge, 19", heavy die cast; this is this 1st edition of this post-war classic... the only year Lionel used a bulb to heat the smoke pit; more, this is one of the first few off the assembly line because the keystone on the boiler is a rubber stamping in white (shortly after this example was produced, red decals were used until the S2 was dropped from the product line in the mid 1950s); engine is C7.5 w/ some minor edge chips; tender is C8, scarce w/ rubber stamped keystone
