The set includes 18 items, including an electric locomotive, and is designed for DC power with an analog control system. The set is based on the Furka-Oberalp corporate roadname and was manufactured in 1981. We mark this set used as the Box is open and we have tested the locomotive but as you can tell in the pictures the track has not been used and neither have the cars, this train has not been ran on track. All pieces are in new/like new condition. Box does have a few pieces of the original tape, a little mark under front logo, and very minor signs of shelf wear. The set is in great working order and is perfect for those who are looking to add to their collection. The 1:29 scale and G gauge make it compatible with many other LGB sets. This starter set is a great way to get into model railroading or to add to an existing collection. Please check out the pictures very carefully as they are the main part of the description. The pictures you see are the exact pictures of the item you will receive.
