Lionel's Classic Period Locomotives.

Electric Outline Engines
The 4 and 254.

 

This is a larger photo of the Lionel 254 locomotive. The 254 uses the same body as the 4 except for the placement of the reverse switch. The engine shown above is an export Lionel 254 that uses a 4 body. On normal 254's the reverse switch is on the frame, not beside the door as shown on this engine. To see smaller pictures of all the different colors of the Lionel 4 and 254 engines click here.

I will add a table listing all the known variations and the dates they were made in the future.
