This piece comes with the 3 correct lights, and they all are wired and work. The top train switch is present, but it was not tested. This building looks all original, with all the moving doors, the two clocks, and the trim work. I don’t see anything missing. This 80+ year old station shows minor scratches, but no rust. The bottom of this building is incredible. The dimensions of the metal building are approximately 13.5″L x 9″W x 9 H. Give this as a very special gift, or add this to your layout. You will not be disappointed.
