A rare find. New, unused locomotive and tender in its original retail box. The box shows some rubbing.
Please view all the photos. Included is the protective slide cover, two tissue like papers that lay on top of each piece to protect them from being scratched, original warranty card, owners manual tells about train with a complete break-down all parts, and small clear plastic bag extra parts.
This set is in as-new, unused, mint condition. Thanks and good luck. It is possible that the mountain name was originated by c after Allegheny mountains where their first locomotives were built to work.
Especially in the box.
