Details:
Shipping: yes, I do combine shipping, buy more and save. This loco has seen little use, mostly displayed, runs good forward and reverse the lights work.
I currently use a 3' circle track to test all engines. Once an item is paid for, I ship it. I am a retired disabled grandfather, not an expert on trains and did become train hobbyist until pounds shipping weight.
Unless listing states otherwise, any box included in is packaging, not the item for sale. I want anyone who buys from me, to have the experience for myself when am buying an item.
A little about me. I started out intending to build a train layout for my grandson, he is 14 now and has great collection, but have never had time the track thanks buying good luck.
