This discontinued train set is in excellent pre-owned condition, it looks like it may have been run once or twice by the previous owner if at all. I’ve personally tested it for nostalgic purposes and quality assurance, and the motor runs extremely smooth and quietly. The light on the front of the loco illuminates when going forward, and the one on back lights up when going backwards. The metal wheels are clean and shiny and don’t really indicate much use, but the rubber on the loco wheels broke down from age and has been discarded – it’s only needed for traction when pulling a larger, heavier load. The train and cars themselves are free of dings, dents, markings, writing, stickers, etc. The power cords do have some styrofoam breakdown around the cords, which is something I’ve seen on old products pretty often, and there seems to be a little bit of styrofoam breakdown near the back end of the loco as well. I haven’t attempted to wipe it off, see the close-up photo. A short demonstration video with the lights down low to show the lights can be viewed here. LGB 72324 Denver & Rio Grande starter set for sale. Video will open in a new window. Using the mobile app? Includes everything you see in the photos, including a box of 12 curved tracks that form a 4 foot circle. One piece was missing so I ordered a replacement online, and that one does have light signs of use. The set of LGB 1150 track clips is unused, though curved a bit. The electrical wires are coiled nicely indicating little use. The box has some storage wear, most noticeably torn at the corners of the lid, but the main box is intact and the styrofoam molds are in excellent shape and cradle all parts perfectly. I’ll put some bubble wrap to fill the interior chamber a bit. It’s packed and ready to go, and is very sturdy.
