This piece has been in storage for a very long time so I would recommend maintenance along with lubricating.
I am helping a friend liquidate his collection. All his engines have been in glass display cases for many years. The majority of them have never been run. The ones that have been run were on test track only. You can see this in the pictures as I have added pictures of the trucks to show this. I would definitely recommend lubricating them before running.
I am not a train collector so I use as many pictures as I can to help describe my pieces. Please closely examine all pictures and read entire description so you can purchase with confidence. I do accept returns, buyer pays return shipping. If you have questions or would like additional pictures please contact me so I can accommodate you.
I charge actual shipping and will gladly combine shipping on multiple items in the same week. If you do purchase multiple please wait until I invoice you so I can give you the actual shipping cost.
In the coming months I will have many more pieces
from this collection so keep checking!
