Lionel TCA Aluminum Passenger Car set. Nine total cars as follows:
City of San Francisco (Baggage)
City of Los Angeles (RPO)
City of Chicago (Combination)
City of Providence (Coach)
City of Grand Rapids (Duplex)
City of Phoenix (Dining)
City of Chattanooga (Vista Dome)
City of Dallas (Full Vista)
City of Seattle (Observation)
I love this set as it looks sleek behind any black steam engine or diesels with orange in their paint schemes; I usually ran them behind one of my New Haven McGinnis livery engines. At some point I must have had less clearance somewhere on the layout than I thought, and 5 of the cars suffered some minor scratches on the silver bottom section, please see pictures.
The nine cars weigh a total of 25 pounds; shipping will be pricey. I will refund any difference between the ebay estimate and actual cost if that benefits the buyer; I will eat any difference if the estimate comes up short.
Hello, thanks for looking at my listing! I'm addicted to buying trains, and periodically I sell off parts of my collection... so I can buy and store more. (There are worse habits I could have I suppose.) Not looking to make money on these items, just hoping they find new loving homes.
Please look at pictures carefully, as sometimes customers notice damage or missing pieces that I was not aware of. I take pictures of all angles, and describe all imperfections that I am aware of, so if you notice an issue that I did not describe, please let me know!
Regarding shipping and costs, I LOVE to combine shipping and consider it a challenge to save my customers as much money as possible. If you are looking to buy multiple items, please let me know. (Note, on large items, sometimes this isn't feasible.) Unfortunately, the costs of shipping over the last couple of years have become ridiculous, which somehow has also corresponded with an increase in items damaged in transit. I package items as safely as possible, even though sometimes this may cost a little extra in shipping costs. Based on experience in my locality, I use USPS for smaller packages, UPS for larger packages.
