Arnold nos. 5026 and 5027
models of small-diesel, yard switcher lettered for Chicago and
Northwestern, road nos. 1089 and 1092. These units ran fine on my DC
test track – but they appear to have no lighting system – there
are lenses in the body, but no lamps. The model has a good
instruction sheet under the box insert: I oiled the gearing and motor
bearings on all these pieces – they are still a bit buzzy, but run
very smoothly. Equipped with Rapido couplers. Obtained new and never
used. This item is 1:160 N scale.
Shipping weight for this item is 12 oz; domestic shipping will be $6.00. If you buy more than one item either: wait for my invoice with combined shipping, or, if you pay for shipping on each item, I will send a shipping refund when I have the items packed and weighed. I will always work for the lowest shipping cost to your destination.
Shipping to non-US buyers will be by weight and destination using Priority Mail International - keep in mind that this may cost 3 or 4 times the US domestic rate. If the packed item weighs less than 4 lbs., it can sometimes go 1st class International parcel (at a lower rate), but I can't guarantee this. Finally, I can bear no responsibility for import duties that might be levied on items I ship - I print labels directly from the Paypal site and the auction value of the item is automatically put into the customs form (and can't be altered).
Contact me well before the end of the auctions if you have questions on payments or shipping.
Transit and Receipt of Items
I am very knowledgeable about packing and shipping easily-damaged items. I use appropriate materials to immobilize and cushion items I ship. Contact me if you are unhappy about your purchases, or the condition in which they arrive - exchanges and return shipping are a pain for all involved; I would prefer to avoid that unless I have made some serious error in the description, or sent the wrong item. I will try to work out problems on a case by case basis.
