Details:

Condition of the shell is awesome. Next is an excellent n w gondola in place of the missing gin, and finally a m st. Piece is e with the exception of one of the holes for one of the ends of the handrails ha sand it has become loose.

Pretty awesome set, nice set box, just wish that gin was in there. Shell is solid with all steps, but this one needs to be serviced before running did not fire up or tried when power applied.

Finally, 12 sections of track and a 1 transformer with nice flexible cord are included.

The set box on this one is very solid. Going with the paper with the set, this one also comes with the original brown cardboard cover sheet, as well as the assembly and operating instructions sheet.

Insert is also pretty spectacular. RCA Louis f3 a, illuminated red plastic variation.

To fill in the hole in the insert, I have included a n w gondola.
