From my youth.  This HO/OO Liliput Wagons-Lit Restaurant car was my favorite since I actually ate a meal in one of these cars in France in the 70s.  The mahogny wood and marquetry and crystal remains in my mind to this day.  The linens, the service, the food. Oh, La-La! The rumble of the wheels on an ancient car rattling along at 100 mph through the French countryside!  Breathtaking memories.  This one has some yellow paint in the windows.  Not sure if that's original.  No zinc pest noted in the trucks or wheelsets.  The wheels turn well and smooth.  Car is intact but at some point in it's life ended up in a wet box.  Some evidence on the bottom. Still rolls well.  Not lighted .  Hard to sell a memory for $17.99, but it's time. 

YOUR ITEM WILL BE PACKED AND PADDED IN NEW BOXES AND VIRGIN MATERIALS THE WAY WE LIKE OUR TRAINS TO SHOW UP, AND OFTEN DON'T.  I'M NOT SENDING YOUR TRAIN IN LAST NIGHT'S PAPA JOHN'S SAUSAGE  AND EXTRA CHEESE PIZZA BOX TO BE SURE!   It may be funny now, but not when it's your trains that come to you that way!!!

A note about our packaging:  We only use new boxes or cardboard.  All packaging materials and Kraft box tape are renewable and recyclable. Plastic in disposable packaging is just wrong for trains.  I despise packing peanuts, so there's that too.

We only charge actual cost of shipping from the carrier.  No mark-ups on shipping to make up for an artificially low selling price to pull you in.  We hate that game.  I bet you do too.

If you want shipping insurance on you item, please let me know.  We don't automatically provide it but can add it to the cost for you if you would like coverage.  Tracking information is provided when we ship the item.

We combine shipping.  If it doesn't automatically do it during purchase, let us know and we'll refund the difference.

We adhere to the 3 day shipping window since as much as we wish this were a full-time job, it's not. We will make sure your item gets out on-time and exceed your expectations. Because the German government is making inbound shipping/packaging paperwork and record keeping onerous, we sadly can't ship there or to the other places we know to be risky.  We hope you understand. Thank You from us and thank you for supporting our family business.  Paul
