This engine is shipped in it's original box.  It has been run on the layout.  I cannot get the bottom to separate from the chassis and there are 2 small plastic pieces also included.  One is a step and the other (?), so because of the fact that this engine is not totally perfect the price will reflect this.  After being involved with a railroader, railfan, and model layout man I understand that even though they are just "model's" they still need to be correct in appearance. I hope that this engine will find a home on your layout as the NYS&W was a wonderful "local" that practically ran across the street from my house in NJ.  Thank you.
