Condition

This model is in generally good condition. However this train has not been tested and Sotheby's is unable to say whether it is a working model. The track is generally good. The painted back drops are tired and there are numerous marks notably to the edges. The Japanese example (11.5 by 41 by 7.5cm) is generally fair, there are dents to the body, there are scratches to the paint and this has not been tested to see if it works. Length of track: 79cm long.
