This LGB 5080D locomotive is brand new, looks beautiful, and is in excellent condition! It comes from the indoor temperature controlled storage unit of a hobby store that closed down in the early 90s. Short of wiping off some dust from the outer box, there has been no cleaning or lubricating of this locomotive. It has been placed on a 4-ft test track and run backwards and forwards two or three times. It runs smoothly, and all of the lights work. I can't tell you how much I love the quality of LGB (at least from this era🙄)!!! I've been working with Lionel engines of the same age that are totally locked up. This thing ran smoothly and quietly the first time I put power to it in over 30 years! The smoke system was not tested as I did not want to dump smoke fluid into a brand new locomotive that would need to be shipped. Shipping will be via UPS Ground. It will be insured and packed in a new and sturdy cardboard box with plenty of bubble packaging to help cushion it for its journey. Additionally, I will be adding a few pieces of foam inside of it's red box to help ensure that nothing wiggles around.
