Produced on a BLUE painted body with YELLOW cab and wide upper stripe, and RED and YELLOW lower stripes and lettering. This diesel, unlike its predcessor No. 204, has a light only in the powered A Unit, and this unit is equipped with a horn. These diesels have the small ledge pilot that is often found in cracked or broken condition. This is a common fault that should be examined before purchase.

All of the Lionel Alco FA units are designed to work on the tighter radius of O27 Gauge track, but they will run equally well on O Gauge track.
