You don't know when you will see this car again--grab it while you can.
CONDITION: Overall C-7. Paint on flat is really nice. Good loads. Printing is crisp. Wood planks always show a little handling. Has three silver pipes instead of four as reported. Has four metal stakes; as you can see in pics, only four spaces for stakes are wide enough for the clip part of stake. No brakewheel, if it had one. Other pieces of load are excellent. No box.
THREE CARDBOARD PIPES are in excellent shape.
TWO LCL CANNISTERS are crisp. Some signs of use.
THREE WOOD PLANKS show signs of handling.
TWO RED BULKHEAD ENDS have a shiny patina. There are a few stray marks on them here and there.
SHIPPING INCLUDES INSURANCE AND SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION.
