This train Powers up and runs forward and reverse. It has been setting for quite some time might need a little cleaning to get it running perfect. I just purchased a large train collection of mainly Lionel and some other brands, including which I am selling off piece by piece. A lot of the items are still in their original boxes. Some are not. Most everything is in very good condition. Please use the pictures as a good description of the item. Please check out my other auctions for more train items. I will combine auctions for shipping.
