At last

All pieces are in brand new, mint or near mint condition. Box shows some shelf wear. I have never run it for lack of track and a power pack. Someone may have test run it at the hobby shop before I got it. It certainly makes an attractive static display, and presumably would run well on your model railroad layout. However, it is sold as-is with no guarantee expressed or implied with respect to its ability to operate.

First honest statement I have come across on E-8ay.

But as for: Because British railways use a broader gauge of track than that used in the USA, a British "OO" scale train can use American "HO" gauge track.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA....Hmmmm. I don't think that is quite what he meant to tell us ! Sadly, we still know what he means !
