OLD & ROUGH LIONEL #652, 653, 656 & 2620 FREIGHT CARS: 1930's FOR PARTS/RESTORE?

Description

I've had these cars, in this condition, boxed away for nearly 40 years and time to see if someone else finds the 'potential' in them I once did... for parts or otherwise.  Besides the obvious rust and dents and that they're missing all the couplers except one on the searchlight car; someone long before me had tried to affix postwar couplers onto the trucks and used epoxy on the outer axles.  There are also a few missing trim parts and such and the searchlight glass is cracked and the wire not connected.  Please look closely at all the pictures as this is one rough lot but still might be worth someone's interest.
P
ictures always say it best and are an important part of the description too, so p
lease examine all pictures closely for overall appearance and grading in your own best judgment and let me know if you have any questions BEFORE making a bid.
Also, if you require any special considerations in terms of delivery or packing, please send an email to coordinate BEFORE YOU PAY as ebay starts the ship-time clock upon your payment, so that's no time for prescriptive repacking, deliberately delaying delivery or any other special instructions :-)
US bidders only and payment due within 2 days of winning please.  Ebay shipping estimate is for USPS Priority, calculated to your zip code and should be pretty accurate as I try to pack before listing to show an accurate ship charge.  And I never add anything extra for handling, packing materials, etc. as I consider that included with your bid.  Any over-charge collected (down to the penny) will be gladly refunded!
*Important extra reading: Even though I'm doing this as a hobby, I value good relationships as much as any business and always strive for your complete satisfaction.  Communication is the key so please don't be shy about sending an extra note at any time if you have questions, concerns or suggestions.  Everyone makes mistakes at times, so all I ask if it's my mistake is the opportunity to make reasonable amends for it.  So please contact me first before leaving negative or neutral feedback in the system or asking for a return.
Thanks for your time and consideration and best of luck if you choose to make a bid!
