Details:

All wheels are replaced with modern metal wheel sets.

Background info who am I am a retired person who likes to tinker with ho trains. Today, these are metal wheels with non metal axles.

Missing steps, ladders paint scratches, missing details, like handrails, etc. For several years now I have been buying and refurbishing ho trains items.

A loco the runs well with a corner or two off the shell would still be classified as good. Anything else is for parts or restoration. I do not consider myself as a store.

The original box is usually a very bad shipping container. When the item has been glued together, then weighting usually would cause more damage than it is worth.

It is excellent quality. The price is set by the item size and weight plus the cost of the shipping materials plus a token amount for handling. I find metal wheels to be more durable and have fewer derailments.

I know I could have the PO people come and pick it up, but that would require more time at this computer.

In keeping the costs low, a certain amount of trust is required.

In an offer environment, I feel that all domestic buyers should have the same shipping cost, that way there is no location advantage. Where possible the following is true engines have been tuned up to run well. The damage is usually minor, but obvious.

Then reselling them on. This allows me to give equal thought to each one and stay in the kiss zone.

To me it is more like a flea market, when I have stuff, it is on.

Shipping is critical and each package takes minutes to pack securely and address. I try to include multiple clear pictures of the item to help set the expectation. Sorry original box not included.

Discount on shipping. That level is bad enough without piling on extra fees and costs. Twice a week, I will dust myself off and go to the PO just to blow off the stink and get my heart pumping. I ship only via USPS.

I find myself staring at this screen more hours in a day that I like already. The car is used and in very good working condition.

The cost of shipping that I charge is a flat fee for each item. I go to the post office twice a week if I can.

As it is the cost of shipping can easily be 70 of the value of the item. Couplets are replaced with the appropriate kd model. But i'm not in it for the business aspects, more the enjoyment of working with the trains.

Thanks, gnarls. It comes equipped with installed jade couplets and is nicely weighted, see pictures. In this case, you pay the return shipping.

I pack for a few hours each day, but I try to ship twice a week. However, they may be metal axles as well, depending on the source.

Time and corrosion can impact performance and many engines have some returning before they go in the box. For all buyers there is a Cars, that can be, are weighted to near the NRA recommended level.
