Oh, Lord. One of the best deals I've seen this week on evilbait. Stunning car, at an affordable price.
Needs new trucks as someone cut the box couplers off (no holes in frame for latch), and realized you cannot mount PT-1 couplers without drilling holes (which I have done). So the new couplers just flop around the inner axles. If you notice, you will see the moro....errr....previous owner cut slots in the PT-1 coupler base and tried to glob solder the coupler plate to the axle. Solder globs held good to the axle, but nothing else.
Rusty frame. Bent and scratched tank. Decals shot. Missing handrail and stanchions on one end. But By Gum it's a three-dome pre-war Lionel! Only $19.10 plus undisclosed shipping and you too can have a car to strip, repaint, find new trucks and decals for, and locate handrails.

Shipping: $9.60 Standard Shipping
I picked up a couple of those at a train once for a buck or two apiece (no frames/trucks) for a project; miraculously they surfaced in a box in the shed after the move. But I'll be darned if I remember what the project was. Note: the decals were/are, actually, in good shape but I suspect that a repaint was part of my project so they really did not matter.

States $9.60 shipping when I looked and now I need to scrub my eyes.....

My page says "calculate shipping", whereas other "offerings" simply state price. And no, ain't putting my address into that canyon.

I have picked up items like this at shows when i needed parts. Buck a car, no shipping, no tax....or box of ten for five bucks.

Not paying him to take his garbage.

Not your address, Zip code....

I am always delighted when somebody pays me to ship him the stuff I don't want.......makes one almost believe in capitalism,

Have to agree, that's pretty horrific. I have, however, seen worse at comparable pricing. Perhaps the worst was an 804 that someone had soldered the handrails directly to the tank-sides.
