This item was part of a collection my family had. After being purchased new, it has been stored unused in a closet (dark place) at home for many years. It has been stored in a case for many years. I believe it is in almost unused condition. I have not tested the operation. Due to storage, the box and case may have scratches, minor imperfections, and some dirt. As I lack knowledge regarding the condition of the item, I would appreciate it if you could judge based on the photos. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. It will be shipped in simple packaging. I plan to list unused model trains sequentially in the future. Thank you for looking.
