Best side has very minor wear, looks shiny clean EX. Top and ends are similar with some edge wear. The other side has some corrosion texture/flake spots, but not terrible. Trim has some corrosion/tarnish. Wheels have some dirt, whistle has been rewired, whistle works a bit erratic on track, worked better upside-down on bench. Solenoid does not always trip as it should. Back plate has minor cracks at screws, 1 screw missing, but whistle still has good tone. It is hard to find a solid example of this early whistle. It has a pleasing high-pitch tone.
