The trains seem to have normal wheel wear. The locomotive has some light paint wear but for the most part is in decent condition for it’s age. This engine is a olive green color and possible older repaint. The top will need to be tightened up on one side on bottom both corners see pictures. The locomotive was bench tested and did function when tested. The lights worked when tested. Powered by SixBit’s eCommerce Solution.
