Please expand the photos to get a very detailed look at the item, these are the exact cars that you will receive. Please note that I do no cleaning or repairs and leave that to the hobbyists. Most all used items will be in need of some work and tend to be dusty and even dirty from sitting in storage. These are mostly older aged items, there will be flaws unless noted. I’m happy to research any questions or send additional photos as needed. Locomotives are tested only for momentum and not for power or duration. Most all older locomotives will need work, cleaning, lube etc. We test only for initial movement on a 3′ track. Please be aware that these are used items, usually with age and will need some work and accompanying knowledge. To avoid either of us having a negative experience, please inspect your item on receipt, and contact me immediately if you are not satisfied so the situation can be remedied. I want my customers to be happy. Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
