Lionel Trains NW-2 Diesel SwitcherThe Lionel Jersey Central No. 621 Switcher was available for two years: 1956 and 1957. This BLUE engine probably had two different manufacture runs which accounts for the different colors of the plastic that was used. This switcher was equipped with a three position directional unit whose control lever was adjustable from the bottom of the sheet metal chassis, and it was powered by one Type IID motor with single axle Magnetraction. There is an operational horn and operating disc couplers on both ends.
