Description

Lionel 2032 “ERIE” FA A-A Diesel Set — Powered + Dummy — O-27 / O Gauge — Postwar — Tested & Working Bring classic early-1950s diesel style to your layout with this Lionel 2032 ERIE FA pair: one powered A-unit and one dummy A-unit . Dressed in the handsome black scheme with yellow striping and ERIE diamond logos, these postwar Alco FAs are a favorite among operators for their ruggedness and compact O-27-friendly size. What you’re getting Powered A-unit (2032): headlight, mechanical E-unit (F-N-R), die-cast trucks; tested on our track—runs and lights. Dummy A-unit: free-rolling trucks; matched ERIE livery. Gauge: O-27 / O 3-rail (1:48 compatible). Quick history (why the 2032 matters) The 2032 belongs to Lionel’s early postwar Alco FA family—compact, durable diesels designed to run on tight O-27 curves yet deliver the heft and look Lionel fans wanted. These units introduced many hobbyists to diesel lash-ups: A-A sets where a powered unit led and a matching dummy added realism and length without extra motors. Typical features of the era included a 3-position E-unit , bright headlight , and (on many 2032s) Magnetraction for sure-footed pulling—hallmarks of Lionel’s postwar quality. Condition (please read) Working but with honest vintage blemishes. We aim for full transparency : Tested & working: powered unit runs and lights up on track (forward/reverse). Missing one coupler on the back of the powered unit. Horn battery covers missing (common on these). Dummy unit missing a window insert. Powered unit shell is loose at the rear (will need a screw/clip attention). Typical signs of long-term storage: scratches, nicks, edge rubs, oxidation on hardware, and dust. See all photos; they’re part of the description and show the exact condition. Why this set is awesome Postwar pedigree: Real, American-made Lionel from the era that defined the hobby. Perfect operator’s pair: Already tested —put them on the mainline and enjoy that heavy postwar feel. Display appeal: The ERIE diamonds and yellow stripe pop against the satin black—great shelf presence. O-27 friendly: Short wheelbase and clearances make these ideal for smaller layouts and holiday loops. Easy to service: Parts and guidance for Alco FAs are plentiful; tighten the shell, swap a window, add a coupler, and you’ve improved a classic.
