Details:

The locomotive has been outfitted with DCC featuring a MARS light function. Please judge for yourself. Not withstanding the above I do not warrant HO equipment. I'm going to do my best list about four or five a night.

Runs beautifully!!LISTING ID: 807, I have over 1200 engines and many cars to list the coming months. I package trains very carefully using bubble wrap, or popcorn and/or buffering/newspaper to prevent the item from free floating in box. This is a beautiful locomotive in PRISTINE / AS NEW condition. The engine also runs on DC.

Lots of great stuff, many steam engines. Many are DCC and w/sound. If you wish to purchase more than one item, go ahead and them.
