All cars come from a younster's collection and accordingly some show signs of use. However, I have repaired or replaced mechanical parts for satisfactory, reliable operation. Please note the importance of very loose connections between trucks (wheel frames) and car body so trucks will rotate freely and follow curves in track. Occasionally, a truck will fall away from the body. This is inconvenient, but not an operational problem. Re-insert truck stem into mounting hole in body and you're good to go.

Combine this set with track, locomotives and scenic items found elsewhere in my listings to make a complete outfit. Our fleet discount (see link below) reduces your over-all cost by up to 20% and there is no extra charge for shipping. You can easily build up an HO scale railroad for years of seasonal enjoyment or as the start to a lasting and satisfying avocation without straining your budget. I guarantee operational performance.
