I have what appears to be the original box with cardboard inserts in EX/P7 condition or better. It is so nice for its age that I question if it might be a reproduction. Original instruction sheet #464-57 dated 11-56. 2 of 3 #81-32 connecting wires. 6 #464-51 timbers, Original 464-58 Contents Envelope. Sheet of brown Lionel logo packing paper. This unit originally came with only 5 timbers (see contents envelope). I don’t think you could tell the difference. This unit works fine. Just be patient with the timing. It works off the variable AC side of your transformer so you can adjust the speed. It does make a fair amount of noise like most Lionel accessories of that time period. It is a bit dusty; but, in EX-Like New condition. No apparent cracks, breaks, missing parts; but, check the pictures for yourself. Please be specific about what you want to see. Check out my other listings by clicking on. I WILL HOLD YOUR ITEMS UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED. IT WILL ONLY CAUSE PROBLEMS.
