**Always read to the bottom of the listing, as any post-bid edits will be at the
BOTTOM
(that's ebay's doing, not mine).  I am not an expert, but, thankfully, there are some really nice people out there who will send me a message if they see I've forgotten something or gotten something wrong.  In the event of an edit, I will contact current bidders to inform them should they wish to withdraw.
Thanks!
***CMA DISCLAIMER***
Just a reminder that these are OLD, USED toys.  The testing procedure used is pretty straightforward, but by no means comprehensive. For engines, they are placed on the track, powered, and run in forward and reverse.  Smokers, whistles, and bells are tested in most cases to establish function; however, if the unit is deemed too fragile (e.g., smoke bulb units- if the bulb lights, it's probably ok), it won't be.  Coupler function is tested by seeing if they open and close manually. Observed problems will be stated in the listing, but there will be the occasional issue that escapes my notice.  I will do my best to see that you are satisfied with any purchase, but, please, do not buy these thinking that they are guaranteed to run like new- they are not.  It is always advisable to service a 70-or-so year old engine prior to operating it.
***SHIPPING***
Combined shipping is available in most cases, so, please, if you win multiple items, do NOT pay right away.  I will figure out the packaging and send you an invoice with the combined shipping.  Most folks don't seem to know that ebay charges the seller a final fee on stated shipping charges, so there's no point in artificially inflating them.
