Just got this 1946 Lionel 1665 diecast 0-4-0 and 2403b bell ringer tender all the way from California to New Jersey. Got her from an Ebay auction for $32, and while she definitely needs work, for the price I paid, I can't complain. Plus, it gives me another thing to stream on Twitch. The hardest part'll probably be the center rail pickup shoes, since I'll probably have to fabricate replacements myself out of brass sheet, but I'll also probably need to replace the loco-tender connection wires, as 1 is missing and the other is damaged, and even the wire connecting to the tender pickup roller also probably needs to be replaced as well. Sidenote, what kind of plug do I need to replace the 1 that's missing?
