This is truly a very nice train,manufactured to the highest quality, in Italy! It is NOT made in Chinajunk, whereby it will fall apart as soon as you look at it the wrong way. NOONE makes this type of quality train today, and that is an undisputed fact.Look at the detail in the pictures and judge for yourself. This truly is acollectors’ piece and would make an excellent addition to a collection.

This is a pristine\"MINT\" condition, VINTAGE 20 year-old, piece that has been carefullystored and properly maintained. It is FLAWLESS in appearance and functionality.

THANK YOU for viewingmy listing.
