You are looking at 4 – 21 long railroad cars. The orange stickers state “refinished tinplate”. The small letters in the center of the sticker state Train Collectors ________. Can’t figure out what it states. I did not redo these cars. I did not clean the top off as was in a display. All the windows and doors are there. The brass on the last car must have been refinished. One picture of the bottom next to the wheels shows pitting. The lights are there. The seats are all in. I do not have any boxes. I looked for issues. There are some spots on the roof that are the size of the sharpened tip of the pencil. It will look better after the top gets a proper clean. The pictures should show details and condition.
