This is an AHM made in Hong Kong vintage "Fire Fox" train set.  I am guessing that it is c. the 1970s.  I THINK from looking at similar listings that this is HO scale, but it is smaller than other trains I have sold.  I am NOT a train expert.  Someone else called this "miniature".  Therefore I will give some measurements and you decide.  The track measures approx. 10" long by 1 1/8" wide.  It is thinner than "normal" HO tracks I have seen in the past.  The tanker is about 5.5" long by 1" wide.  The engine is the smallest piece at about 5" by slightly less than 2" wide.  The engine and the track were in the original boxes and look virtually unused.  You also get 4 additional "cars", flat beds or pulls alongs, one looks like maybe a fire spout, one is just a flat car and one is a flat car with a little box room on top...  The oil tanker is not on wheels and I think was supposed to go on the black flat trolley piece at the front of the pics.  As you can see in the photos, that piece is damaged (but will be sent along, possibly for repair or parts).  There is also a tiny little pulley thing.  I have no way to test this engine, but I always accept returns and it looks like it is in excellent condition, so I am not overly worried.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BROWSE MY STORE LISTINGS.   I DO COMBINE SHIP.  PLEASE READ ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW PRIOR TO PURCHASE OR MAKING AN OFFER:

The Condition Guide which I use to describe most vintage items:

Mint in Box: Nothing wrong with the item, never been used, and in original box.
Mint: Nothing wrong with the item and never been used.
Excellent EUC: Very little wrong with the item if anything at all, no visible problems, excellent used condition.
Very Good VGUC: Very little wrong with the item, in very good condition, maybe a little dusty or has a minor problem.
Good GUC: Item has been loved, a little messy, possibly dusty but still good for any collection.
Poor/OK: Item has been used, washed, scratched, broken or marks/spots which I will do my best to identify.

Best Offer... Although one major retailer has the world convinced that “free” shipping is literally free, it is not.  Someone always pays and often times it is quite expensive.  My prices which include “free” shipping in most cases, have shipping costs factored in to the purchase price.  Before making an unreasonable offer and wasting everyone’s time, please consider where you are located compared to PA and whether or not your offer will even cover the shipping.  Most of my items are priced at the most reasonable price which I can ship to CA, OR, AZ, WA, and TX and still make a profit.  I base my prices off of what I have into any given item, Ebay and Paypal fees, most recent sold listings, the rarity of an item and shipping costs.  If you live closer and the shipping will be less, then I will factor that into my best offer decisions. 

Shipping… I ship most items same day to 1 day after payment is received. I use priority shipping when I can and that seems to work best.  It automatically offers ship cover insurance and is most often times less than parcel with the added insurance.  I insure most items for shipping and in the event that something is damaged, keep the item and the packaging and let me know ASAP to resolve.  You may open a “return” case if it eases your mind, but in general that just slows the process as it is NOT necessary to return the item.  Just let me know and I will send you an email with more information.

International Shipping… I will ship internationally, but only using the Global Shipping.  Also, I will NOT falsify the customs form, so please do not even ask.  Ebay automatically fills the form now in the shipping center and I will not change it.  So, what you pay and the fact that it is “merchandise” is recorded.  You may have to pay a high customs tax- be aware.

Toy and lead paint warnings…  Anything I sell is not to be eaten.  These items are meant to be collectible items.  They have not been tested for lead paint according to my knowledge, so don’t let children or pregnant women eat them.  I have not had any problems with this personally, but so many sellers have this type of disclaimer that I thought it is probably a good idea to stress these points because the government and lawyers thinks we are all morons and I don’t need to be sued.

Customer Satisfaction... Most of the items that I sell are vintage, used and loved- they are RARELY going to be perfect.  Please note, that even though I try my best, and consider myself a detail oriented person, I am still human and have found myself looking at something a second or third time and finding a problem that I had not noticed before.  Also, you may consider something a problem that I have not even considered as a defect.  So, please ask all pertinent questions prior to bidding.  If you receive something and are not satisfied, please contact me and I will do my best to resolve the issue. Also, sometimes shipping mishaps occur.  PLEASE DON’T freak out and DON’T leave feedback BEFORE contacting me.  It’s no biggie.  Just contact me if something is broken and I will resolve it.  If you are happy with your purchase, please leave positive feedback.  I will always strive for 100% feedback so please try to be reasonable and I will do my best to make you happy.

Payment…PayPal is the only form of payment these days as PayPal is a confirmed address site.  Please make sure that your shipping address is correct and current within both Ebay and Paypal systems.  I cannot be responsible for re-shipping items to the correct address and I will not override/change the address on the label.  If payment is not made by the Ebay payment deadlines auction will be re-listed.  If you find yourself with some delay or problem with paying, contact me.  I can usually wait, as long as I know what is going on.

Sales Tax for PA Residents...  If you are a resident of PA, you are required to pay sales tax of 6% on any eligible sales, excluding clothing items. Please note that in accordance with the law you must be notified that sales tax is factored in to the BIN prices and will be paid to the State by me.  The sales tax prompt below is not turned on and you will not be charged additionally.
