Individual boxes are nice except for the engine box which is missing most of its end flaps. Train set is nice. Box car roof is extremely faded and condition is good to very good.

Tender is in excellent plus condition with some minor pitting on one side in the black but may clean off. 1688 locomotive needs cleaning but has no scratches. Overall condition of lot is excellent.
