I'VE HAD THIS BOXED AWAY IN MY PERSONAL COLLECTION FOR SOMETIME NOW, AS FAR AS I CAN SEE IT IS ALL ORIGINAL. LOCO RUNS VERY WELL, REVERSE UNIT WORKS FINE, I PUT POWER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TENDER AND SHE WHISTLES NICE, WHEN I HAD THE TENDER ON THE TREACK BY ITSELF IT DID NOT WHISTLE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT COULD BE ABOUT. HERE IS WHAT I SEE: COW-CATCHER HAS A STEP MISSING, ONE GREEN MARKER JEWEL IS MISSING, COUPLER PIN IS NOT PRESENT, ORNAMENTAL WHISTLE ON THE BOILER TOP IS LOOSE AND THE TAB FOR THE FRONT BOILER DOOR NEED TO BE BENT SO THAT IT LATCHES CORRECTLY. ON THE TENDER I SEE OLD MASKING TAPE ON THE PLUG, IT WILL NEED FOUR CORNER STEPS AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE CLOSE-UP PICTURE OF THE TENDER BOTTOM YOU WILL SEE THAT SOMEONE REMOVED SOME OF THE SMALL RIBS IN THE COUPLER AREA, PROBABLY FOR CLEARENCE. THE CABBOSE LOOKS GREAT. ITS NOT GOING TO TAKE MUCH TO PUT THIS SET IN PRIMO CONDITION.  THE LOCO BOX HAS ALL FLAPS, THE TENDER BOX HAS COMPLETE FLAPS AT ONE END AND TWO ARE MISSING AT THE OTHER, THE CABOOSE BOX HAS NO FLAPS, IT DOES HAVE THE CARBOARD LINER WHERE AS THE LOCO AND TENDER DON'T. ALL THREE BOXES HAVE TAPE, THE LOCO AND TENDER BOXES HAVE SOME WRITING IN INK & PENCIL. I HAVE DESCRIBED THESE ITEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY IN MY MOST HONEST OPINION, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND IF YOU NEED SOME MORE PICTURES I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND THEM. *** I HAVE FOUND THAT THE CHEAPEST WAY TO SHIP THIS STUFF IS UPS, WHAT MAKES IT SO EXPENSIVE IS THE INSURANCE. FROM MY ZIP ON THE EAST COAST TO CALIFORNIA THE TOTAL SHIPPING WITH $7000.00 INSURANCE WILL COST $97.00 (DOES NOT MATCH EBAY CALCULATOR, I WILL ADJUST TO THE LOWEST), SO IF YOU ARE CLOSER IT WILL NOT BE MORE THAN THAT, TRUST ME YOU WILL PAY WHAT I PAY WITHIN A COUPLE BUCKS. IF YOU CAN PICK IT UP, THAT WOULD BE BEST. PLEASE SEE MY FUTURE AUCTIONS WITH MORE LIONEL ODDS & ENDS, THERE WILL BE LOTS MORE TO COME IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.  SHIPPING WILL BE COMBINED ON MULTIPLE ITEMS WON.  SHIPPING SPECIFIED IS FOR 48 STATES (INCLUDES HANDLING),  FOREIGN SHIPPING COST TO BE DETERMINED.  INSURANCE (OPTIONAL) IS EXTRA,  FINAL PRICE OF ITEM DETERMINES INSURANCE RATE (RATES ARE PER USPS),  I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR UN-INSURED ITEMS.  PLEASE MAKE SURE THE GRAND TOTAL ($) OF YOUR PAYMENT REFLECTS THE INSURANCE SHOULD YOU WANT IT.  PAYMENT WOULD BE APPRECIATED WITHIN 10 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING DATE,  PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 10 DAYS FOR PERSONAL CHECKS TO CLEAR.  SORRY NO PAYPAL.  AT THE END OF THE AUCTION YOU WILL BE INVOICED ASAP.  I WILL POST FEEDBACK AFTER IT HAS BEEN POSTED FOR ME.  THANKS FOR LOOKING.
